Kala - Solid Cedar Top Acacia Tenor 8 Cordes

One chord on the Kala Solid Cedar Top Acacia is all it takes to realise that there's nothing classical about this 8-string tenor. The grain of the solid cedar asserts itself with natural warmth, and the doubled strings open up an acoustic field of rare breadth. The result is a vibrant, lively instrument with an almost orchestral resonance.

This model is for those who like to go beyond standard formats. Its eight strings create an abundant harmonic texture, where each note seems to breathe differently. When strummed, the projection becomes broad and enveloping; when picked, nuances emerge with startling clarity.

Kala's attention to detail extends right down to the construction: acacia back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The gloss varnish highlights the wood's golden reflections, and the abalone rosette catches the light like a discreet jewel. The open-work headstock completes this elegant yet assertive look.

The precise, stable chrome-plated tuning machines keep each string at just the right tension. The Aquila Super Nylgut® strings provide the slightly percussive texture that makes playing addictive. The whole thing exudes coherence: everything vibrates, everything reacts.

The KA-SCAC-T8 doesn't try to seduce by taking the easy way out. It's for sound explorers, for those who like to shape music rather than be subjected to it. A ukulele to be played with the heart as well as the fingers.
