Kala KAEBYT2006 Striped Ebony Tenor Ukulele
Kala KA-EBY-T Ebony Tenor Ukulele – Ebony Series
Available at UKE Republic – professionally set up for optimal sound and playability.
The Kala KA-EBY-T proves that a ukulele can be both elegant and approachable.
Part of Kala's popular Ebony Series, this tenor combines striking striped ebony with classic appointments to create an instrument that looks far more expensive than its price tag suggests. The dramatic dark grain patterns make every instrument unique, while the satin finish allows the natural beauty of the wood to take center stage.
Tonally, the KA-EBY-T delivers a balanced voice with excellent clarity, warmth, and sustain. The tenor scale provides comfortable spacing for chords and fingerstyle playing, making it a favorite size for players seeking versatility and projection.
The ebony body is accented by maple binding, an abalone rosette, and tasteful black/white/black purfling, creating a refined appearance without being flashy. A mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and rosewood bridge contribute to a smooth playing experience, while Graph Tech NuBone® components help maximize tone transfer and sustain.
Whether you're upgrading from a beginner instrument or adding another voice to your collection, the KA-EBY-T offers impressive looks, dependable performance, and excellent value.
