Kala KA-8 Eight String Tenor Ukulele

The Kala Mahogany Series Ukulele offers a full-bodied tone with plenty of "Sweet Highs" and "Mellow Lows"  that combine for a full rich sound. The KA-8 is a beautiful mahogany tenor ukulele with good looks and a warm/mellow tone but the 8 string arrangement gives it a whole lot of Jangle, Chime, and Chorus.

You will enjoy the easy playing feel of your new Ukulele Trading Co Ukulele.

All our ukuleles come with a 12-month guarantee from the manufacturer (Kala Brand Music / Ohana Ukulele).

SOUND
The concept behind the KA-8 eight-string is similar to that of a 12-string guitar, providing a natural, organic chorused sound.

The KA-8 shares a lot with a Mandolin or Tiple in tone, perfect for playing the mandolin parts in country music, but being fitted with Italian Aquila Nylgut strings it won't tear your fingertips apart as a mandolin's steel strings will. The tuning is standard ukulele GCEA but with a twist, so all your current skills and knowledge are easily transferable.

A really 'grown-up' tone that is truly unique, a common string arrangement in Hawaii that is finding favor worldwide with many players seeking something new. 

LOOKS
Traditional white binding on the top and the back accent the high gloss finish, while chrome die-cast tuners assure your instrument will stay in tune.

Impressive, unique, and with a big sound are what you get with the Kala's KA-8 eight-string tenor ukulele.

TUNING
The G and C strings are doubled with octave pairs, while the E and A strings are in unison.

The KA-8 has a huge amount of 'Chime and Jangle" to its tone, with an incredibly full rich lush sound. It is like two four-string ukuleles playing together, but even more so.

PLAYING
An eight-string is played just as you would a four-string, with the pairs of strings being played as you would a single string. Picked or strummed, the tone is Big and FAT FAT FAT.
