Kala Travel Spruce KA-SSTU-S Ukulele
RatingsIt might seem like the soprano ukulele is already an exceptionally portable instrument, but Kala have taken that idea one step further. They have made it even more compact by shrinking the width of the body (to an inch and a half at the widest).
The uke has a solid spruce top making it very much a serious ukulele (not just a gimmick).
There's also the humorous (or tacky depending on your point of view) compass on the headstock.

I really think this Kala is surprisingly loud in terms of volume. It’s too bad they didn’t use friction tuners on it as I hear the headstock is quite heavy, making it somewhat unbalanced.
I picked one of these up on amazon for $145. Very compact, and rather loud, but the sound is a tad harsh and the tuners do make the headstock very heavy.
Got something to say?
