- MmichaelVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoMy Favorite Uke, and I have a decent amount of Kala's to compare to.
This uke kind of grew on me. It was an unplanned buy, but it sounds great. It is my only baritone, and most of mine are concerts and tenors, and most are "Kalas" I almost didn't get this because I prefer a slotted headstock, just for looks, but it is a very beautiful instrument, but also plays amazingly well. Would recommend . Good for strumming and finger picking.
- JMJohn M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoThis Ukulele looks and sounds awesome
I bought this Ukulele from a large music store on line. This ukulele sounds wonderful. The tone from the Cedar is mellow and clear. The Trembisi back and sides are stunning in appearance - way better than what the pictures show. As far as I am concerned, this is the best of my 3 Kala baritones - I also own a KA-SA-B and a KA-SSEBY-B-CE. I love all my baritones - but this one is special. Note that the pictures were taken by the company that sold me the ukulele.

Beautiful ukulele. Sounds it amazing.
- EEveVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoAwesome!
I love this ukulele. It's beautiful, comfortable and sounds great. I'm trying to get back to the guitar after a very long break. The baritone is really helpful with that. But it's fantastic in it's own right. I play it regularly with my local ukulele group.
- PHPatrice H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 year agoBeautiful!!
This is one of the very best of the best instruments to join a collection of beautiful instruments! The tone of the Baritone if deep and mellow, if you are looking for Tiny Tim's uke, this is NOT your uke! I love the cutaway, it fits me perfectly, and the glossy wood is so beautiful in all it's different shades. My fingers USED to wrap around a D-18 Martin fret board but no longer want to make that stretch. The All Solid Cedar Top Trembesi Metropolitan™ Baritone Cutaway is basically the last four strings of a guitar, with a smaller body than a guitar but not as small as a standard uke. Given all that, it's really the TONE that brings it all together. If you don't believe me, watch Boris on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWFAs_spJ1o
