Kala, a brand renowned among ukulele players around the world, designs the Blue Stained Meranti.

Meranti, a wood native to Southeast Asia, is widely used in lutherie for its accessibility. It allows the design of entry-level or intermediate-level ukuleles, i.e. good quality instruments at an affordable price.

Thus, this model is particularly aimed at players wishing to acquire an inexpensive ukulele to express their creativity. It will also appeal to new learners.

In terms of sound quality, if the Meranti does not have the rich sound of more expensive materials – mahogany or koa –, it nevertheless gives a decent level of acoustic clarity to this model. We owe this clear sound mainly to the soprano format of this variation of the Blue Stained Meranti.

This watercolored model in a blue tint offers a satin finish, making it an instrument that is pleasant both to the eye and to the touch!
