The Revelator™ Nautilus Premium Korina Tenor Ukulele is the flagship model of the Kala Revelator series. Its all solid Korina construction shows off beautiful variegated black striations and patterns that Black Limba (Korina) is known for. The Revelator is an “Acoustic Anomaly”—a slim line electro-acoustic ukulele that has all of the acoustic tone and volume of a full body ukulele. Adorned with an Australian White Pearl Nautilus fretboard inlay, Nautilus sound port and seamless blended neck heel, this instrument is as inspiring to view as it is to play! Each Kala Revelator ukulele is handcrafted in the Kala Lutherie Studio in Petaluma, California and comes in a padded Transit Series Gig Bag.
To ensure the health of this instrument, we recommend storing it in 40-60% humidity, away from direct sun, vents or extreme temperatures. We recommend storing it at least part time in a bag or case with an ukulele humidifier, or humidity-controlled environment. (Kala-recommended humidifier coming soon.)
Each Kala Revelator ukulele is crafted, assembled, and ready to ship. Be sure to select your unique ukulele by choosing the corresponding serial number from the drop-down bar above before adding it to your cart.

This ukulele is beautifully constructed, artfully designed, a treasure to hold, and an example of masterful woodworking. It is a joy to play. It is not inexpensive, and yet it is also worth every penny. The tone is rich, and for a thin ukulele it is surprisingly loud. I am so glad I bought this ukulele. I will enjoy playing it for the rest of my life.
I was looking for a uke that I could take with me on a plane, in a backpack, have some live music with friends without carrying a large thing with me. This is ideal. The sound is impressive.
Love it! Sounds great both with an amp or acoustic. Extremely easy to play!
After reading so many good reviews of the Revelator, I bought one. It's beautifully made, and it sounds great. The reverb goes on forever. It's also very comfortable to hold and to play.
