Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kala’s KA-8E combines a tenor body, eight-string configuration, and onboard electronics in one acoustic-electric ukulele. Mahogany is used for the top, back, sides, and neck, with a rosewood fingerboard. The high-gloss finish presents the mahogany grain with a smooth exterior, and cream binding outlines the body. A slotted headstock, 18 frets, 16.9375-inch scale length, and 1.5-inch nut width complete its listed configuration.
Strong match
Who this is for
- A player who specifically wants a tenor eight-string acoustic-electric ukulele with onboard electronics.
