Kala KA-HIBISCUS-C Mahogany Concert Ukulele w/ Bag
Kala KA-HIBISCUS-C Mahogany Concert Ukulele – Voyage Collection
Available at UKE Republic – professionally set up for optimal sound and playability.
Inspired by one of Hawaii's rare native treasures, the Kala KA-HIBISCUS-C celebrates the beauty and resilience of the Koki'o Kea (White Hawaiian Hibiscus) through music and art.
Part of Kala's acclaimed Voyage Collection, this special edition concert ukulele features artwork by renowned Māori cultural artist Sam Mangakahia, whose design captures the elegant ivory blooms of Hawaii's native white hibiscus against the warmth of a mahogany body. The result is an instrument that tells a story long before the first note is played.
Historically, the Koki'o Kea was valued throughout Hawaii for its beauty, versatility, and usefulness. Its blossoms adorned leis, its fibers served practical purposes, and its presence symbolized resourcefulness and connection to the land. That same spirit is reflected in this beautifully crafted instrument.
Built with a mahogany top, back, and sides, the KA-HIBISCUS-C delivers the warm, balanced tone that has made mahogany one of the most popular ukulele tonewoods. The concert size offers a comfortable playing experience with excellent projection and versatility, making it equally at home in a beginner's hands or as part of an experienced player's collection.
Each ukulele includes a matching Voyage Collection gig bag and a story card hang tag sharing the cultural inspiration behind the design.
And as with every ukulele we sell, UKE Republic performs a complete Pro Setup to ensure optimal playability, comfort, and sound.
