Kala CT-SMH-TG Tenor Ukulele

The success of Kala - one of the world's premier ukulele manufacturers - is founded on very high standards of quality that are on display in every price range, making the company one of the market leaders in this segment. The CT-SMH-TG model from the Contour series emphasises this with its high-quality craftsmanship and the carefully selected types of wood - the richly grained mahogany top being a particularly eye-catching feature. Small but elegant details such as the rosewood binding around the top, the two-coloured, eclipse-style rosette, and the contoured arm rest at the edge of the body round off the overall appearance. And the set of Aquila Super Nylgut strings with which the CT-SMH-TG comes strung right from the factory makes it clear that Kala has not cut any corners with this package.

Kala Brand Music Co. is perhaps the world's most recognised ukulele manufacturer. The company was founded by the American Mike Upton in the early 2000s, in his hometown of Petaluma, California. Drawing on his earlier years of living and working in Hawaii, where he developed a deep affinity for the ukulele, Mike's mission was always to create high-quality, yet affordable ukuleles under the Kala brand that would make this instrument accessible to musicians of all backgrounds. This philosophy quickly paid dividends, leading to the rapid growth of Kala's instrument portfolio. The quality and variety of Kala's ukuleles have attracted the attention of many acclaimed artists, including Bakithi Kumalo, Abraham Laboriel Sr., Hutch Hutchinson, Twenty One Pilots, Walk off the Earth, and Eddie Vedder, all of whom are among the proud players of Kala instruments today.
