This all solid mahogany tenor ukulele, the Kala KA-SMHT is a fine all rounder - and really impressive value. The tone it produces is full and warm, but with precise, articulate treble notes to compliment the rich background voice. The looks are smart, the specification high, the setup nice and the 'feel' and balance are very good. It really is a well priced and good sounding instrument ideal for those stepping up from laminate instruments.
