Kala - Ziricote Tenor + Housse

When wood dictates personality, Kala's Ziricote Ténor has a raw, organic aesthetic, with each grain telling a different story. It's not an instrument that goes unnoticed. Constructed entirely from solid ziricote, a species renowned for its rarity, it has an inertia and density that you feel as soon as you pick it up. The tenor format gives it an immediate scope and presence.

The mahogany neck is contoured for easy navigation across the 18 frets. The rosewood fingerboard and Graph Tech NuBone® saddles form a low-friction ecosystem, resulting in smooth playability and sustained sustain from top to bottom. The Aquila Super Nylgut® strings, a little tighter than on a concert, respond with a dynamic range that will delight seasoned fingers.

Listen to the size difference. The wider, deeper body of the tenor frees up better-defined low frequencies, without stealing the place of the warm midrange. The ziricote works here like a natural filter, producing a complex timbre with extended sustain. This is the voice you need for elaborate fingerstyle arrangements or for singing with a more consistent rhythmic base.

Your new stage partner comes fully equipped. The tailor-made tenor gig bag guarantees robust protection against the vagaries of travel. This reference is much more than just an upgrade: it's a qualitative leap towards a wider acoustic palette and an instrument with plenty of power. If you think ukuleles deserve to be taken seriously, you've come to the right place.
