With the \u003cstrong\u003eIndonesian Acacia\u003c\/strong\u003e collection, Kala brings a \u003cstrong\u003enew look\u003c\/strong\u003e to this philosophy, focusing on a warmer and more homogeneous aesthetic thanks to the acacia used throughout the body. The result: a tenor ukulele with a strong character, designed for those who want an inspiring instrument for everyday use, whether at home, in class, or at rehearsals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom and for which styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003etenor ukulele\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a comfortable and stable format, but also at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate\u003c\/strong\u003e players who want a reliable instrument to progress (arpeggios, more nuanced rhythms, chords with extensions). The tenor generally offers more left-hand space, which helps with chord transitions, light barre chords, and more complex positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding styles, its warm personality centered on the midrange makes it very comfortable in \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic pop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efolk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ereggae\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003echanson\u003c\/strong\u003e, and vocal accompaniment. It also works very well for \u003cstrong\u003efingerstyle playing\u003c\/strong\u003e: the attack remains clear, the notes sing, and the sustain favors both simple melodic phrases and more elaborate arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe uniqueness of this model comes from the choice of \u003cstrong\u003eIndonesian acacia\u003c\/strong\u003e for the \u003cstrong\u003etop\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eback\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003esides\u003c\/strong\u003e. On a ukulele, the top wood species greatly influences the response: here, the acacia provides a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm\u003c\/strong\u003e tone, with \u003cstrong\u003eemphasized mids\u003c\/strong\u003e that give presence to the chords. This midrange emphasis helps the instrument stay clear even when playing energetic strumming, while maintaining a pleasant softness on lighter attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003etenor\u003c\/strong\u003e format favors a fuller body sensation: the projection feels more \"open,\" and the notes tend to sustain longer, which is particularly appreciated in arpeggios and melodic playing. The \u003cstrong\u003eAquila B-Blacks strings\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to this impression, with a soft touch and generous \u003cstrong\u003esustain\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for letting chords breathe and achieving a beautiful continuity between notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, the \u003cstrong\u003eopen-pore satin finish\u003c\/strong\u003e lets the instrument \"breathe\": the feel is natural, less varnished to the touch, and the overall look gains visual authenticity. The \u003cstrong\u003elight acacia purfling\u003c\/strong\u003e on the top adds an elegant, discreet yet distinctive touch that highlights the wood grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo get the most out of this tenor ukulele, you might consider a \u003cstrong\u003echromatic tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e (useful both at home and on stage) and, when the time comes, a \u003cstrong\u003eset of Aquila B-Blacks strings for tenor ukulele\u003c\/strong\u003e to maintain the original feel and response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etenor\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e43.18 cm, i.e. 17\u0026quot; \/ 432 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eIndonesian acacia\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eplastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eopen-pore satin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eplastic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eacacia\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAquila B-Blacks\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003erosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Kala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359853433107,"sku":"430311","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/3ecea5497f43000349e293fee1552926ff655bf5_HTD_KAL_MK_T_IA.jpg?v=1789386373","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/kala-makala-indonesian-acacia-tenor-430311","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
