It must be admitted that the Archtop Chicago Red model offered by the Kala brand has a lot of charm.

This comes mainly from its shapes reminiscent of vintage jazz guitars - those made popular in the 1930s and 1940s. It even sports F-shaped sound holes. To accentuate its classic appearance, this ukulele sports a red and white top with a metallic effect.

Its sound quality is just as good as its aesthetics. This type of ukulele is often popular with players who want a more present sound. Its projection qualities perfectly meet this need. The curved lines of its body and the shape of its sound holes promote a high volume, ideal especially when you play in a group.

In addition, the manufacturer chooses mahogany as the resonance wood in order to give this model the sound that best characterizes ukuleles. It thus offers a round and warm sound. High frequencies are less pronounced with this wood, which results in a soft sound, pleasant to listen to over longer periods of time.

Your ukulele has an on-board electronic module, the UK-300TR. You will be able to tune your instrument with great ease and connect it to your sound system.
