The Kala elite series of ukuleles offer an amazing eye-catching design. The solid Hawaiian koa has a stunning grain with exceptional detail, making each one uniquely eloquent. The UV satin finish offers a fantastic natural feel and smooth surface, while letting the true nature of the wood grain to shine through. From the oval pearloid inlays to the custom machine heads, the elite series shows Kala's attention to detail and commitment, delivering a ukulele that looks as good as it sounds.
The ukulele was built using a combination of traditional methods with modern design. The Kala KOA 1 is carefully crafted to have perfect intonation, balance, and feel for your playing. The mahogany neck is contoured for a more ergonomic feel on your hand, while the concert body size is carefully sculpted to resonate a balance of frequencies with a precise blend of clarity and overtones.
While the Kala elite series look beautiful, its main focus is the sound. The ukuleles are designed with premium quality sound for both picking and strumming styles. The combination of a rosewood fingerboard and Hawaiian koa body creates outstanding clarity, supported by rich overtones, complex highs, and thick creamy lows. Also adding a mahogany neck infuses the ukulele with a warm, mellow tone, creating a beautiful sound with plenty of depth and texture.
The ukulele originated from Hawaii and, over time, has appeared in both classic and modern music. It's easy to play due its lightweight body and balanced neck, while its small size makes it easy to travel with. Kala has stayed loyal to the origins of this prestigious instrument by using Hawaiian Koa in their elite series, as it’s one of the most tuneful timbers available. Each element of the Kala elite series is designed with precision and care, ensuring each ukulele will last a lifetime.
