Naturally Water-resistant Uke with Striking Looks and Tone
The Kala Teak concert ukulele has more in store for the globetrotting ukulelist than striking looks and impeccable tone. With its teak construction, this affordable concert uke is naturally weather resistant to boot. Whether you're busking, camping, or playing somewhere else on the go, the Kala Teak concert ukulele delivers the goods. The secret is an all-teak body comprised of a teakwood top on teakwood back and sides. This Southeast Asian hardwood is known for its water-resistant durability, varied grain, and striated pattern in different hues of brown and reds. Paired with its comfortable meranti neck and earthy nandu fingerboard — all done up in a sumptuous satin finish — the Kala Teak concert ukulele will draw you back time and again with its unforgettable feel, play, and sound. Just like Kala's premium ukuleles, the Teak concert sets you up with long-lasting, easy-playing Aquila Super Nylgut strings, a real-deal TUSQ nut and saddle, conventional open-gear tuners, and that telltale Kala lower bout strap button for upstanding performances.
Teak construction yields top-tier tone
The Kala Teak concert ukulele is brimming with value, especially in light of how well it's built. Its all-teak body produces a tone and resonance that belie its modest size, along with a resilience to climate shifts to survive life on the road. Geared open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. Thanks to a high-quality GraphTech TUSQ nut and saddle, you'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish, and you've got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you'll enjoy for years to come.
Concert ukulele size
The concert ukulele — a size up from the classic soprano — was introduced in the 1920s as an "enhanced" soprano, sporting a louder and deeper tone with more body and richness. You'll find that the Kala Teak concert uke gives you impressive warmth, clarity, and output all while remaining relatively compact, with greater playing comfort thanks to its wider fret spacing (versus the soprano) and larger tone due to the increased body size.
