The Kala Mahogany KA-CE acoustic-electric ukulele offers a full-bodied tone with plenty of "sweet highs" and "mellow lows" that combine for a full, rich sound. Traditional white binding on the top and back accents the rich satin mahogany finish, while chrome die-cast tuners assure your instrument will stay in tune. And if it isn't in tune, this model comes with a built in tuner! The tuner resides in the same housing of the preamp on the side of the uke which includes bass, treble, and volume controls. Aquila strings come installed on this uke which is ready for the stage, the studio, the dinner table, the bus stop, you name it. If the stage is what you have in mind, try it through an amp or a PA. The under saddle pickup has great response and reproduction of acoustic sound.
