Kala KA-CB-VICT-C Cigar Box Concert Ukulele w/ Bag
The Victorian Cigar Box Ukulele by Kala
Somewhere in the haze of a late summer evening, where bluesy rhythms echo off dusty wooden walls, the spirit of innovation thrived. Musicians with little more than imagination and resourcefulness crafted instruments from cigar boxes—giving birth to an era where necessity became art.
Kala captures this essence with the Victorian Cigar Box Ukulele, a nod to those trailblazers of sound. Picture this: a concert-scale ukulele, its body a classic rectangular cigar box shape, adorned with intricate Victorian scrollwork laser-etched into the meranti wood top. It’s a canvas of playing card-inspired design, where ornate meets ingenuity in a perfect balance of style and function.
The meranti wood, with its rich tonal qualities, envelops your melodies in warmth. The satin finish, smooth as the night, invites your fingers to dance across the Indonesian Nandu fingerboard. Open gear chrome tuners, complete with black buttons, ensure your tunes stay in tune, while the Graph Tech TUSQ® nut and saddle enhance every strum. Whether you're strumming at the porch or performing under stage lights, the Victorian Cigar Box Ukulele carries a sense of old-world charm that resonates through every note.
UKE Republic ensures that this masterpiece is more than just a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. With a Pro Setup included, the sound and playability are tailored to perfection, so every chord rings true.
