Kala CT-SSRW-BG-C Baritone Ukulele

An exquisitely crafted and extremely playable instrument can be noticed on the spot, and the Kala CT-SSRW-BG-C Baritone Ukulele has some qualities which makes it stand out from the crowd. One of its aesthetic characteristics is the ergonomically enhanced purpleheart binding, which serves as an arm rest for the picking hand on the solid spruce top. In addition to its eye-catching aspect, this has the major advantage of making the instrument more comfortable to play over extended periods of time. The body's Venetian cutaway ensures perfect access to all 19 of the nickel silver frets on the mahogany neck's elegant ebony fingerboard. And to ensure that the Aquila Super Nylgut strings with which this ukulele comes strung right from the factory can vibrate freely, the saddle of the ebony bridge and the top nut are both made from bone.

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.
