The Kala KA-PX-BCT-C Concert ukulele is a high-quality instrument. It is made from bocote wood, a reddish-brown tonewood with dark streaks and distinctive grain patterns. This ukulele features rosewood bindings, black tuning machines and a gloss finish that completes the overall look. Please note that the grain pattern may differ from the ukulele shown in the product photo, as it depends on the natural structure of the wood, making every ukulele unique. A luxury gig bag is included with this ukulele.

Ukuleles come in different sizes: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. Soprano is the smallest of the four and also the traditional size of the ukulele. One downside of the baritone is that it can feel uncomfortable if you have large fingers. That is why the concert ukulele exists: it is slightly larger than the traditional soprano, making it easier to play for people with larger fingers. Because of its larger body, it also has a slightly different sound. Then there is the tenor, which is much larger than both the concert and soprano models and therefore is not really considered part of the traditional ukulele family. Its large body gives it a much fuller sound, but it no longer sounds like a traditional ukulele, which is why many professional players do not choose a tenor. Finally, after the tenor comes the baritone, the largest ukulele, which produces the fullest and warmest sound.

 

The Kala KA-PX-EBY-C is a concert ukulele. What does that mean?

There are different ukulele sizes: soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. Soprano is the smallest of the four and also the traditional ukulele size. One disadvantage of the soprano is that it can be uncomfortable for people with larger hands. That is why there is also the concert ukulele; it is one size larger than the traditional soprano and therefore easier to play for people with larger fingers. Its larger body also gives it a slightly different sound. In addition, there is the tenor ukulele, which is considerably larger than the concert and soprano models and therefore does not really belong to the traditional ukulele family anymore. It sounds much fuller thanks to its larger body, but no longer like a traditional ukulele. The tenor is an excellent choice for musicians who want the playing feel and high timbre of a ukulele, but with the comfort and space of a small guitar. The tenor is therefore also very suitable for guitarists who want to play the ukulele.
