Instrument Type: 4-string concert acoustic ukulele
Neck Specifications: One-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable C profile, satin finish, and stable set-in neck joint
Body Material: Laminated mahogany top, back, and sides finished in a breathable satin polyurethane with traditional cream body binding
Pickup Configuration: None (traditional pure acoustic operation)
Hardware & Bridge: Rosewood or walnut floating bridge, chrome open-gear or die-cast sealed geared tuners, and a single black bottom strap button
Scale & Nut Width: 14.81-inch (376mm) scale length, 1.37-inch (35mm) Graph Tech NuBone nut, and 18 silver nickel frets on a rosewood or walnut fretboard with white dot markers
The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances. Built on Kala's iconic flagship framework, the concert body depth and waist widths maximize physical handling ease while increasing internal air volume over standard soprano templates. The laminated mahogany soundbox yields a highly reliable perimeter that handles changing seasonal ambient humidity without splitting or cracking. Accentuating the body lines, traditional cream binding seals the top and back joints, adding structural rigidity while creating an elegant visual border under high-intensity stage lighting or studio camera setups.
The neck architecture utilizes a premium solid mahogany core that resists mechanical twist and environmental warp, stabilizing the wood fibers against structural tension and active playing wear. This neck hosts an 18-fret fingerboard carved from seasoned rosewood or walnut, bringing structural midrange punch and crystalline note definition to complex chord inversions or fast single-note melodies. White dot position markers are embedded flush along the fretboard face and top side edge, providing fast visual tracking for performers in dim backstage production areas. The rounded neck shape fits smoothly into a wide variety of hand sizes, minimizing wrist fatigue over long practice sessions.
Sonically anchored by the all-mahogany soundbox, the mechanical transfer utilizes a specialized Rosewood or Walnut bridge assembly paired with a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle. This premium engineered component replicates the acoustic property of traditional bone, boosting individual string definition, maximizing natural sustain, and preventing string binding at the nut slots. Strung from the factory with premium Aquila Super Nylgut strings, the instrument delivers an expansive dynamic range stacked with sweet, articulate highs and warm, rounded low-end fundamentals that slice through a dense acoustic ensemble track cleanly.
The tuning infrastructure relies on highly reliable chrome die-cast sealed geared tuners mounted onto a standard profile headstock. These keys provide exact rotational mechanical resistance, preventing string slippage and holding pitch parameters securely through aggressive multi-finger strumming patterns or complex fingerpicking sets. At the base of the lower bout, a factory-installed black strap button anchors securely to the interior tail block, ensuring balanced support when standing. The combination of uniform mechanical hardware, zero-tolerance nut cutting, and a thin satin coat creates an open, vibrating field, ensuring that your acoustic tracking remains transparent during close-microphone recording processes.
