Get to know them!





Kala is all about ukulele. In fact, ukes are all they make, and they make them exceedingly well. This concert ukulele is part of the company's Beach Collection, an expansion of its Waterman line that is designed as an homage to the 1950s Maccaferri ukulele. This uke boasts a textured finish that is water-resistant and easy to clean; the 14.75-inch scale and 18-fret fingerboard ensure comfortable access for players in any environment. Plus, the ABS composite body and fingerboard are highly durable, making it the perfect piece of adventure-ready gear ? especially given the included Waterman tote bag.

Getting started with your Kala ukulele





Kala’s founding ethos is based on an openness to music, embracing new possibilities, and encouraging musicians to pursue your creative interests. If you’re new to the instrument, or just looking to freshen up your chops, then we recommend cruising over to Kala’s website. There you'll find access to guided lessons that cover everything from basic technique and chords to extended song tutorials. Additionally, Sweetwater uke players love using the Kala app. This robust tool includes a built-in tuner, tempo adjustment, and more, giving you access to many of the same learning opportunities featured on the Kala website ? all from your Android or iOS device.





Kala’s roots and the Hawaiian sound





Kala’s roots trace back to founder Mike Upton’s time spent living and working in Hawaii during the 1990s. Upton’s love for the ukulele led him to a pointed insight: there were very few options between high-cost, artisan ukuleles and cheaply made toys. Since first opening up shop in 2005, Kala has built a name for themselves by providing high-quality ukuleles that span an array of colors, sizes, materials, and tonewoods. It's no coincidence that Kala ukulele's are the instrument of choice for many top artists, including Vance Joy, Twenty One Pilots, and mxmtoon.
