Continuing their commitment to offer quality entry-level ukuleles to the public, Kala introduces the KA-20 Concert Ukulele. This gorgeous concert uke is made from an all-mertani top, back, and sides for rich tone and stunning visual appeal. Mertani is known for its full, balanced tone and captivating grain that displays myriad dots, dashes, and speckles throughout. That KA-20 also offers a mertani neck with nandu fingerboard for smooth playability and response. This beginner uke is ideal for classroom instruction and recitals, as well as general everyday use. The easy-on-the-fingers Aquila Super Nylgut strings and Graphtech TUSQ nut and saddle are added features Kala includes that enhance playability and tone.

Quality construction and appointments





The KA-20C offers real value, especially in light of how well it's built. Its all-meranti body produces a resonance that belies this uke's modest size. Geared open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. You'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer, thanks to a high-quality GraphTech TUSQ nut and saddle. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish, and you've got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you'll enjoy for years to come. At Sweetwater, we find that the KA-20C delivers performance that far exceeds expectations.





From Kala ? the uke company





Kala is all about ukulele. In fact, ukes are all they make, and they make them exceedingly well. Kala is in no small part responsible for the strong resurgence of interest in ukuleles that we've seen since the mid-1990s. They design and manufacture over 120 different models made from a variety of woods, including lacewood, koa, mango, and many more, each imparting its own sonic signature and aesthetic beauty to these popular and iconic instruments.
