From Kala — the uke company

Kala is all about ukuleles. In fact, ukes are all they make, and they make them exceedingly well. Kala is in no small part responsible for the strong resurgence of interest in ukuleles that we've seen since the mid-1990s. They design and manufacture over 120 different models made from a variety of woods, including lacewood, koa, mango, and many more, each imparting its own sonic signature and aesthetic beauty to these popular and iconic instruments.

  • Affordable, quality-constructed tenor ukulele
  • All-mahogany body emits great tone and ages beautifully
  • Gorgeous laurel fingerboard is richly responsive and instantly playable

Reviews

Love it
Bought one for everyone in the family! We are now like a mariachi band of Uke's! So cool. This is the best one we bought. Holds its tune so well and it makes me look super sexy playing it. My wife can no longer contain herself when I play twinkle twinkle little star. Great buy.
Bad setup. Rest okay
I think the instrument is pretty well made. However when I received it, the saddle was too small for the bridge and it moved forward when at pitch. Also the nut pulled back. Since I live overseas, sending it back was expensive so I made a new. Nut and saddle and property set it up to 7/64ths. Sounds and plays much better now
Kala KA15T, KATEAKtenor, KA20C setup
I recently purchased four Kala Ukes: KA15T, KA-TEAK-T, KA20C, KA15S-S. The 15S-S is the only one that is playable with factory setup; specifically in terms of intonation. The nut slots in the other three are not deep enough, so that extreme pressure is required to press down any string on the first fret. This results in all notes especially up to the 5th fret being extremely sharp. I spent about an hour each on the 15T and the TEAK-T, filing the slots deeper (any luthier will know what I'm talking about). The result though are quite satisfying. Once the strings settle in these Uke have nice tone, and now reasonable action and intonation. I just got the KA20C for Christmas and will be fixing the nut slots on it today. If you don't have ability to fix the nuts, or the extra money to spend to have a luthier fix them for you, I don't recommend buying these three Ukes (or possibly other in the low price KA series). Unless of course you don't care about playin in tune.
