The Kala Archtop Kalamazoo Gold from the Kala brand shines among the instruments in its category. It's undeniable!

While there are many forms of ukuleles, the proposals of this Californian manufacturer in terms of archtop models clearly stand out, as with this model. It attracts the eye above all with its lines inspired by jazz guitars from the 1930s and its golden color.

Beyond its beauty, the Kalamazoo Archtop Gold is also an instrument that pleases the ears. Thanks to its arched back and top, it has remarkable sound projection qualities. It easily surpasses flat top models on this point. It is undeniably the ally of players who want to be heard.

You will enjoy playing for longer periods with this ukulele. The sound it generates is soft and pleasant to the ears. This is the whole point of using mahogany as a resonance wood. This favors the mid-frequencies, which has the effect of giving a rounder sound, less bright than with other woods - spruce or maple.

To go further, you can take advantage of the UK-300TR electronic module of your instrument to connect it to an amp, to adjust the high and low frequencies of the sound it generates or to tune it.
