Kala KA-8E Gloss Mahogany Tenor 8-String W/ EQ Ukulele

The Kala KA-8E Gloss Mahogany Tenor 8-String Ukulele takes the lush, layered sound of an 8-string ukulele and makes it stage-ready with onboard electronics. Featuring a gloss mahogany body, tenor size projection, and a built-in EQ system, this instrument is designed for players who want both traditional warmth and modern performance features.
