The Kala KA-15T is a straightforward, affordable tenor ukulele with a warm mahogany sound and the extra room and projection that comes with the larger tenor body.
Part of Kala’s long-running KA-15 Series, it features a mahogany top, back, sides and neck, rosewood fingerboard, Aquila Super Nylgut strings and a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle.
If you're buying your first ukulele and like the extra room of a tenor, the KA-15T is an easy one for us to recommend.
The larger body gives you a fuller, warmer sound, while the longer scale provides a little more space between the frets. That's particularly nice for adults, players with larger hands, or anyone coming across from guitar. Players regularly single out its sound, comfortable size and overall value as reasons the KA-15T makes such a good starter instrument.
At this price point, small details make a huge difference. With the Kala KA-15T playings feels and sounds better thanks to the Aquila Super Nylgut strings and a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle.
It's simple, traditional and affordable. If you want to learn on a tenor rather than a smaller soprano or concert uke, we'd happily start here.
