The Kala Makala MK-C Concert Ukulele talks of ancient wisdom in every sense, given that its top and body are constructed from Mahogany. This tonewood variety not only imparts rigidity to the overall design but also delivers extended sustain and optimal note separation. The mahogany construction of the neck translates into accommodation of a whole gamut of genres from folk to blues. Mahogany clips the highs and absorbs string vibrations to provide a clean and direct sound. In addition, this tonewood variety contributes to overtone colouration given its ability to transmit sound at a high velocity.

Laurel Fretboard

The fretboard of this ukulele is crafted from carefully selected Laurel, which is known for its strength and durability. The tonal range of this tonewood variety extends from one end of the spectrum to the other, making it a favourable choice for musicians wanting to experiment with different musical styles to bring versatility to their performance. Laurel draws up all the stray overtones into its oily pores to deliver warm tones. The sound resulting from this action is characterized by deep lows and bight treble notes. These fundamental-rich sounds are characterized by sparkling treble notes, deep lows, and a scooped midrange. The arrangement of frets on the fretboard is such that it allows musicians to easily access the upper registers.

Saddle and Strings

The plastic construction of the nut and saddle of the Kala Makala MK-C Concert Ukulele offers the benefit of durability. Given that plastic is resistant to climatic variations, this ukulele is suitable for touring musicians. This instrument retains its sonic character even in the face of extreme conditions. Furthermore, plastic adds further clarity and warmth to the tones by absorbing string vibrations. This ukulele incorporates Aquila’s Supernylgut strings in its design to help you strike the right chord with your audience. The smooth surface of the strings makes for breezy playing. Supernylgut offers stable intonation despite prolonged or repeated use.
