Gloss Solid Cedar Top Acacia 5-String Tenor Ukulele
$339 $179
Elegant and beautiful, these are some of the best sounding ukuleles you will ever play. To complement such an excellent sounding instruments, we gave it a full redesign for 2021. The Solid Cedar Top with Acacia back and sides in a shiny, gloss finish, trimmed out in Rosewood binding is a sleek combination. We added an Abalone rosette, Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and open gear black tuners.
Cedar has a soft, lush tone that lends well to finger style playing. It has a natural, loud projection and is often recommended as the best ukulele for playing on stage. Available in Long Neck Soprano, Concert, Tenor, Tenor Cutaway with EQ, 6 String Tenor, 8 String Tenor, Baritone, and 8 String Baritone.

- DDDaniel D. W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 days agoKiller tone and great for finger picking
The solid cedar top is so warm for fingerpicking. There is a little bit of a learning curve with the doubled G on how I approach the picking. Strumming is great too, a lot of really good warm full tone from the doubled G. Super happy I impulse bought this. Another great Kala for my collection.

The 2 G strings give the chords a lot more body when strumming. The balanced tone is pretty good out of the box which will get better over time as I play it more. Dropped in a MiSi pickup which helped open up the sound of this uke when playing live. Only wished that Kala had made the nut a full 1.5" as it's slightly small being a bass player who just started playing Ukulele. Planning on replacing the stock strings with Worth browns like the ones that came stock on my Kala Elite Koa Tenor. I also use a Kala Spruce top Ziracote Super Tenor for some of my gigs and this 5 has it's own merits. For the money a very impressive and well made Ukulele.
- LNLauren N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoI absolutely love this
I love the high G because it reminds me of sunny skies and ocean. And I love the love G because...you know. How to choose?
Now you dont have to! Both together sound great!!! I love it!!!
I do plan to replace strings with Aquila Reds, as I do with all my ukes.
Best,
Lauren

- RBRoy B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoThis ukulele is the perfect fit for me.
I am really glad I decided to buy this (not-my-first) ukulele. True, I did change the strings to fluorocarbon (my personal preference, YMMV). But otherwise, I find no flaws in it. It sounds great, too (with the new strings). Plus, if someone asks if I have a Tenor Ukulele, I can reply "Yes". And, if they as if it is a Hi-G or a Lo-G uke, I can also reply, "Yes"!
