If you're searching for a head-turning uke with amazing sound, the Kala Candy Shoppe concert ukulele will put a huge smile on your face. This uke boasts a basswood-topped mahogany body for balanced tonality and mind-blowing resonance. It plays like a dream, thanks to its comfortable mahogany neck and sculpted rosewood fingerboard. And its vibrant color palette and gleaming gloss finish are eminently attention-grabbing. Beyond that, this concert-sized ukulele yields an excellent balance of playability and projection. The Candy Shoppe concert uke is strung up with long-lasting, easy-playing Aquila Super Nylgut strings. A Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle round out the Kala Candy Shoppe concert ukulele's attractive feature set.





Basswood-topped mahogany





Teeming with lively tonality, the Candy Shoppe concert ukulele features a balanced-sounding basswood top, along with a resonant mahogany back and sides. You'll appreciate the warm midrange supplied by this instrument, as well as its agile low-end response.





Kala-quality hardware and appointments





The Kala Candy Shoppe concert ukulele's open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. And thanks to a high-quality Graph Tech TUSQ nut and saddle, you'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer. Add to that a vibrant color palette and eye-catching gloss finish, along with cream binding and purfling, and you've got a fine acoustic instrument you can enjoy for years to come.





Concert ukulele size





A size up from the classic soprano, the concert ukulele was introduced in the 1920s as an "enhanced" soprano, sporting a louder and deeper tone with more body and richness. You'll find that the Candy Shoppe concert uke gives you impressive warmth, clarity, and output. All the while, it is relatively compact, with greater playing comfort thanks to wider fret spacing (versus the soprano) and magnified tone due to the increased body size.
