Kala KA-T Mahogany Tenor Ukulele

I did a lot of research before getting this one for my daughter's birthday. This is the 1st ukulele in our house, and I'm very happy about this one. Reasonable price for an instrument with beautiful sound. Now we've had it for almost 2 years. Both my daughter and I love the sound and would play it from time to time and still keeping a good interest in it. Now I'm moving on to my next ukulele, which is also a KALA. We highly recommend this one as a beginner's choice.

I started out with the glossy version of this same Uke (KA-TG) which cost the same (about $100) and is a little fancier (decorated sound hole). After a couple of years, I decided I had proven that I was going to stick with this instrument, so why not get a better one? In short, I got a $400 solid wood Kala and found it didn't sound as good. My chief complaint about the glossy tenor I already had was that I felt the gloss prevented resonance, so I got this here Uke, same but without the gloss. LOVE IT! The sound it warm and vibrant. I can strum more softly and still get sweet subtle vibration. If you're just starting out, and you're a grown-up, get this one... if you're buying for a kid, maybe get the glossy one since it's going to be a sit sturdier.

Buy if you are very unsure if a tenor size is for you, but you'll soon find that the quality is very lacking. The materials are very, very cheap.

I am very happy with this ukulele. It looks and sounds very good. It came with good quality strings and was set up well. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good ukulele on a budget. Don't worry about the photo. The photo shows the wood being more red than it really is. I am happy this is the case.

I've just started learning ukulele, and read that for someone with big hands it would be easier to finger the cords on a tenor than a soprano. (I have a Kala soprano that's been stored in a box for over 10 years.). My first impression, this is a really nice instrument. Why did I almost send it back? There is something off in the first fret of the "E" string. Every string on every fret "sings" on the soprano. Every string except the "E" string sings on the tenor. In the end I waffled too long to send it back. I expect that I could find a luthier to look at it, but it would probably cost more than the instrument. The other thing that has happened is that ,with six weeks of daily practice, I seem to be able to finger the cords as well on the soprano as the tenor. Bottom line, I have two Kala ukuleles. The 11 year old soprano - 5 stars. The new tenor - good enough for my amateur use, but the one I grab to play is the 11 year old soprano.

This brand may scare some people away because they are relatively inexpensive, but don't let that happen to you!! My daughter is not gentle with this and it has held up very well. Also has great sound quality for the price. Big thumbs up!!

The Kala KA-T mahogany tenor ukulele is very playable. I think the quality exceeds the price. It’s not top of the line but, it’s exactly what I hoped for in this range. The satin finish is great and preferable to the shiny gloss on other instruments. I didn’t find any snags and seems really smooth. It took about a week for the strings to settle before it held tune. I’m gonna replace them with D’Addario. I own two other Kala products, so I know they make good stuff. This tenor is so much easier to play than a soprano or concert. I’d recommend it.

Cheaply made and expensive. plastic where brass should have been used returned to seller

Un superbe instrument avec une belle sonorité pour le prix. Au début se désaccorde souvent mais au bout de deux semaines, tiens très bien l'accordage. J'ai changé la corde de Sol par un Low G, c'est parfait :)

I really like this Ukulele. I started with a cheaper concert size kit. Used that for a while but wanted a slightly higher quality tenor sized model. This ukulele is exactly what I wanted. Sounds great, looks good, comfortable. Note there is no strap button. After using the Uke for some time I’ve noticed that it has a slightly narrower nut than some other Tenors. Overall the sound quality is quite good. Construction is good.

Very nice.

Sto solo cercando di imparare a suonare questo dolcissimo e speciale strumento. Ne ho già avuti per le mani tre o quattro di marche diverse, tutte abbastanza decenti. Ma Kala batte tutti, per il momento: materiali, il suono particolarmente caldo e avvolgente, merito certo anche delle splendide corde Aquila. Mi piace moltissimo e ne sono più che soddisfatto. Consegna di Amazon ormai come di consueto, precisa. affidabile, sempre in anticipo sul previsto.

Este es el segundo que tengo, lo compré porque quería otro un poco más grande pensando que como principante posicionaría mejor los dedos al tener más espacio. Todo un error porque es más estrecho que el que tengo Donner tamaño concierto, concretamente 2mm de distancia entre cuerda 1 y 4. De largo entre trastes si que este es un poco más largo. Tiene buen sonido, pero nada que envidiar el Donner a un tercio de precio menor y con extras. En fin esto me sirve para aprender que estas cosas hay que comprarlas en tienda para poder comprobar. No te fíes del prestigio de la marca. Menos mal que lo compré con buena rebaja, a precio normal no lo compraría. Espero que está opinión sirva a alguien de utilidad.
