Kala Maori - Courage Mahogany Tenor With Bag

An Edition Inspired by Maori Art Within the "The Voyage Collection" Series

Resulting from a collaboration with Maori artist Sam Mangakahia, the The Voyage Collection series highlights original artworks that tell stories. Each design focuses on universal human experiences (Unity, Courage, Guidance, Resilience, Ingenuity), illustrated by powerful natural motifs. The art is laser-engraved on mahogany, and the instrument comes with a custom carrying bag as well as a story card related to the visual.

For Which Musician and Styles?

This tenor ukulele is suitable both for the beginner seeking an inspiring and comfortable instrument, and for the intermediate player looking for an expressive tenor to play with light pick or fingerstyle. Its size and sound response suit pop, folk, world music, and vocal accompaniment very well. The tenor offers a more "open" playing feel, particularly appreciated for chord transitions and richer voicings.

Sound Characteristics

With a mahogany top and a construction focused on essentials, this model delivers a warm tone centered on round mids, with a soft attack and great coherence in chords. Mahogany promotes controlled projection and a natural sustain feel, ideal for singing playing styles. The rosewood fingerboard provides a more precise response under the fingers, while the combination of Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle contributes to better intonation and clearer definition, useful in both arpeggios and picking. The satin finish enhances playing comfort and allows the "wood" feel of the instrument to breathe.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the tonal character and intonation, favor a tenor ukulele string set (standard tenor gauge). A chromatic tuner (clip-on or pedal format) is also a reliable choice for quick and accurate tuning. Since a carrying bag is included, adding an extra case is generally unnecessary.
