Xl Tenor ebony and spruce
Rich big sound. Nice wide neck. Quality build
Prototype / Second
Designed and handmade in the Kala Workshop in Petaluma, California, this Kala Elite USA Tenor XL ukulele looks as good as it sounds. With a Torrefied Spruce top and West African Ebony back and sides, this instrument was built to be loud, clear, and beautiful. The torrefaction treatment of the spruce improves the tone by speeding up the aging process which improves its resonance — also giving the spruce a warmer and darker, cedar-like appearance. The ebony is dark with strikingly unique patterns — from striped grain to persimmon-colored highlights. Other features include: Ebony fretboard, Padauk binding, Brown Fluorocarbon Ukulele Strings (by Worth Strings — that are now standard on all Kala Elite USA Ukulele), and comes with an LR Baggs FIVE.O pickup already installed.
Our Tenor XL models have a longer neck, longer body, and wider lower bout compared to a traditional tenor ukulele. The 19” scale is especially comfortable for converted guitarists.

I bought this beauty one year ago and it has mellowed amazingly already. It is my favorite selection for solos, fingerpicking and strumming. Works great in a group of ukuleles. Beautiful to look at and wonderful to hold. Couldn't ask for more. Comes with a very sturdy and attractive case. Well worth the money.
