Description

The Kala Gloss Mahogany 8 String Tenor Ukulele pairs classic looks with a lush, chorus like voice that instantly stands out in any mix. With its all mahogany construction, high gloss finish and octave paired strings, it delivers a rich, shimmering sound that is perfect for solo performers, songwriters and players looking to add a new texture to their collection. A cream binding frames the warm mahogany woodgrain, while the tenor body and longer scale length provide extra projection, clarity and comfortable playability. Finished with a slotted headstock, quality Graph Tech NuBone components and D’Addario Nyltech 8 string set, this is a dependable, great sounding instrument that invites you to explore new voicings and arrangements. Gloss Mahogany Elegance The all mahogany body and neck give this tenor ukulele a classic, woody tone with plenty of warmth and midrange presence. The high gloss finish not only highlights the natural grain of the wood, it also adds a smooth, durable surface that feels great in the hands and looks smart on stage or at home. Shimmering 8 String Tenor Voice With its 8 string configuration, this tenor offers a naturally layered, chorus like sound that feels fuller and more complex than a standard 4 string uke. The octave and unison string pairs add sparkle to chords and extra depth to single note lines, making simple shapes sound bigger and more expressive without changing your usual tuning. Comfortable Tenor Feel The tenor size body and 16.9375 inch scale length strike a balance between comfort and projection. There is more room on the fretboard for clean chord shapes and melodic playing, while the slightly larger body helps your sound carry in acoustic settings. It is an ideal choice for players stepping up from concert ukulele or guitarists looking for a familiar feel. Quality Components and Classic Details A slotted headstock gives the instrument a refined, traditional look, while the Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle help with tuning stability and consistent tone across all eight strings. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, and the single strap button makes it easy to add a strap for secure standing performance. Key Features All Mahogany Construction – Mahogany top, back and sides provide a warm, balanced tone with strong mids and a pleasing natural compression, ideal for strumming, fingerstyle and accompanying vocals. High Gloss Finish with Cream Binding – The gloss finish enhances the beauty of the mahogany grain and adds a layer of protection, while the cream binding gives a clean, finished look that stands out on stage and in the studio. 8 String Tenor Configuration – Octave and unison string pairs create a naturally rich, chorus like sound, adding depth and shimmer to your playing without needing pedals or extra processing. Graph Tech NuBone Nut and Saddle – High quality NuBone components support reliable tuning, clear note definition and even response across all eight strings, helping the instrument ring clearly and consistently.
