A Unique Take on Modern Ukulele Construction

There's a lot involved when it comes to creating a truly authentic ukulele with exquisite sound. Luckily, the luthiers at Kala have accomplished this feat with the design of the Solid Cedar Top Metropolitan Baritone Ukulele. Built with a mixture of both trembesi and cedar tonewoods, this uke provides an exclusive sound of both warm notes and biting projection. Additionally, you'll find both comfort and accessibility with the ukulele's sloped cutaway shape, which gives you easier access to your frets while maintaining a comfortable fit for any player. A Graph Tech nut and saddle system keeps your strings in place with a knack for easy tuning capabilities. Topped off with an included gig bag, Sweetwater musicians have come to find that the Solid Cedar Top Metropolitan Baritone is fit for any play style.

Unique build brings high-class tone and versatility

The Kala Mango Metropolitan ukulele stores a solid trembesi back and sides. Trembesi wood, a highly coveted lumber native to southern Asia provides a warm sound, with surprisingly high projection and sustain. A cedar wood top provides even more bump, complementing the trembesi perfectly with a blend of sharp but soft-hitting melodics. With a healthy mix of these two valuable tonewoods, this ukulele provides a unique and decisive tone. Hardware on this uke is no different: it boasts a Graph Tech nut and saddle that provide stability and easy adjustment to your pitch.

Kala Mango Metropolitan Baritone Ukulele Features:

  • Constructed with solid trembesi and cedar for an attractive look with an assertive tone
  • Standard baritone ukelele size
  • Sloped cutaway to provide easier access to the fretboard while maintaining a comfortable fit
  • Graph Tech nut and saddle duo
  • "C"-shaped neck profile for effective fret movement
  • Gig bag included
  • All solid wood build

This is a Great Step Up for Kala

I have a total of 3 Kala Baritone ukuleles. I also own 2 Pono's as well as other brands. In my opinion, this Metropolitan ukulele runs with the best of them. The tone out of the box is wonderful and I anticipate that it will get even better with age as it is all solid wood. The Trembesi wood on the back and sides has striking grain patterns. So it looks beautiful as well as sounding good. This is a keeper for me and it will get many miles on it for sure. Note that the photos are from Sweetwater before they shipped my instrument
