Solid mahogany construction





The Kala Satin Solid Mahogany concert ukulele's top, back, and sides are made from solid Indonesian mahogany. This construction enhances the instrument's low-end response and offers a warm tone that is centered in the mid frequencies.





Kala-quality hardware and appointments





The Satin Solid Mahogany concert ukulele's open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. And thanks to a high-quality Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, you'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish with deluxe black binding, and you've got a fine acoustic instrument you can enjoy for years to come.





Concert ukulele size





A size up from the classic soprano, the concert ukulele was introduced in the 1920s as an "enhanced" soprano, sporting a louder and deeper tone with more body and richness. You'll find that the Kala Satin Solid Mahogany concert uke gives you impressive warmth, clarity, and output. All the while, it is relatively compact, with greater playing comfort thanks to wider fret spacing (versus the soprano) and magnified tone due to the increased body size.
