Kala KA-20 Soprano Ukulele - Natural Meranti
Acoustic Soprano Ukulele with Meranti Top/Back/Sides/Neck and Nandu Fingerboard - Satin Natural
A New Standard in Entry-level Ukes
Kala set the standard for entry-level ukuleles with last decade's KA-15 series. The latest chapter in Kala's legacy of affordability is the Kala KA-20S Burled Meranti Soprano ukulele. Handsome satin-finished meranti wood forms the body, top, and neck of this value-packed soprano uke. Meranti is well regarded in the instrument world for its looks and tonal properties. With the Kala KA-20S, it supplies a solid foundation for a range of applications, from classroom learning and everyday enjoyment to recitals and session dates. Just like Kala's premium ukuleles, the KA-20S sets you up with long-lasting, easy-playing Aquila Super Nylgut strings, a real-deal TUSQ nut and saddle, conventional open-gear tuners, and that telltale Kala lower bout strap button for upstanding performances. Whether you're investing in your first ukulele or looking for a low-commitment travel instrument, Sweetwater recommends the Kala KA-20S.
Quality construction in a value-priced ukulele
The KA-20S is a real value, especially in light of how well it's built. Its all-meranti body produces a resonance that belies this uke's modest size. Geared open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. You'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer, thanks to a high-quality GraphTech TUSQ nut and saddle. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish, and you've got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you'll enjoy for years to come. At Sweetwater, we find that the KA-20S delivers performance that far exceeds expectations.
Soprano ukulele size
Often called "standard" in Hawaii and known as the smallest ukulele option available today, the soprano uke delivers the classic island sound with percussive treble and sparkling overtones. The Kala KA-20S soprano ukulele is not only eminently compact and portable — making it the ultimate travel instrument — but it also produces a focused tone for balanced vocal and ensemble accompaniment.
From Kala — the uke company
Kala is all about ukulele. In fact, ukes are all they make, and they make them exceedingly well. Kala is in no small part responsible for the strong resurgence of interest in ukuleles that we've seen since the mid-1990s. They design and manufacture over 120 different models made from a variety of woods, including lacewood, koa, mango, and many more, each imparting its own sonic signature and aesthetic beauty to these popular and iconic instruments.
