Kala - Gloss Mahogany Concert

Mahogany has always been a mainstay of lutherie, and the Kala Gloss Mahogany Concert shows why this wood remains timeless. The gloss finish brings out the natural nuances of the grain, creating an instrument that literally and metaphorically shines. Its concert silhouette balances well between your arms, neither too large nor too small. It's the archetypal ukulele done right.

Place your fingers on the rosewood fingerboard and feel the difference. The 18 frets are perfectly upright, allowing easy movement along the neck. Graph Tech NuBone® saddles transfer the energy of the Aquila Super Nylgut® strings with maximum efficiency to the soundboard. The result? Sustain that seems to last all day and impeccable tuning in every position.

Now listen to the sound! The mahogany produces a soft, present tone, with a natural focus on the midrange that is particularly suited to vocal accompaniment. The bass is clean without being intrusive, the treble soft without becoming metallic. This instrument works beautifully for studio recordings, where its balanced response simplifies mic work.

Kala supplies a protective case with this instrument, a gesture that shows their understanding of artists' needs. For the serious student, teacher or player looking for a reliable second ukulele, this model is a wise choice. Its aim is not to impress with gimmicks, but to serve the music with character.
