KALA KA-8 GLOSS MAHOGANY TENOR 8-STRING

The Kala KA-8 Gloss Mahogany Tenor 8-String Ukulele is designed for musicians who want to expand their tonal range with an instrument that delivers full, chorus-like sound. Featuring a gloss mahogany body and classic tenor size, this 8-string ukulele blends traditional warmth with enhanced resonance for both strumming and fingerpicking.

Unlike standard 4-string ukuleles, the kala KA-8 pairs its strings in octaves and unisons, creating a naturally rich, shimmering tone. The doubled strings add depth, volume, and texture, making every chord sound like an ensemble. Perfect for rhythm players and singer-songwriters looking to fill more sonic space.
