Kala KA-CT-SMH-BG Contour All Solid Gloss Mahogany Baritone Ukulele w/ Bag - #0603-7
Available at UKE Republic – professionally set up for optimal sound and playability.
The Kala Contour Series was designed for players who want traditional tone with modern comfort, and the KA-CT-SMH-BG delivers exactly that.
Built entirely from solid mahogany, this baritone produces the warm, rich voice that has made mahogany one of the most beloved tonewoods in the ukulele world. The larger baritone body adds depth, fullness, and impressive sustain, making it a favorite for singers, fingerstyle players, and guitarists looking for a familiar tonal range.
What separates the Contour Series from traditional designs is its attention to player comfort. The contoured comfort edge softens the contact point between player and instrument, making longer playing sessions more enjoyable. The redesigned slotted headstock, elegant rosewood binding, and distinctive Eclipse maple and rosewood rosette give this instrument a refined appearance without sacrificing its classic roots.
The gloss finish highlights the beauty of the solid mahogany, while premium appointments like an ebony fingerboard and bone nut and saddle provide excellent feel, sustain, and responsiveness.
Whether you're looking for a rich accompaniment instrument, a songwriting companion, or simply a baritone that feels as good as it sounds, the KA-CT-SMH-BG is a compelling choice.
Includes padded Kala gig bag.
