A truly great uke
This instrument is beautifully finished, speaks with great presence, and holds a tune wonderfully.
Native to the tropics of Java, Trembesi is a sought-after wood with beautiful natural figuring and a relatively high density, making it an ideal selection for luthiers looking to pair visual allure with overall projection and sustain. With a notable clarity and mid-range presence, our All Solid Trembesi Metropolitan™ Ukulele is a great choice for players who value dynamics and changing up playstyles.
Our Kala Metropolitan™ Series was designed for players in need of an instrument that can match their trajectory and growth as an ukulele player — soloists, songwriters, and burgeoning performers will feel right at home with these distinct and feature-rich solid wood models. Every Kala Metropolitan™ Ukulele is all solid wood, handcrafted in Java, and includes a custom Kala Metropolitan™ Ukulele Gig Bag.

I love the sound of this new instrument! I had an issue with the first one sent to me, and the folks at Kala made it quick and easy to exchange for another one. I am impressed with the rich and resonant sound of such a small instrument. I was hesitant to change from a concert to a soprano, but felt the need to do so, because I travel so often and the soprano is much easier to fit into my carryon for air travel. So far, both the instrument and the service from Kala have been excellent and I will do business with them again!
This is a terrific little ukulele. Clean sound and easy to play. A year end sale price made it irresistible, but it would have been worth the investment at a higher cost.
Beautiful finish and sound
