Kala All Solid Salt & Pepper Doghair Mahogany Baritone Ukulele – KA-SDH-BE

Inspired by the distinct texture of its namesake, the Kala All Solid Salt & Pepper Doghair Baritone Ukulele (KA-SDH-BE) combines refined elegance with warm, mellow tone. Built with all solid mahogany and upgraded with a unique doghair gloss finish, this baritone uke is both visually striking and sonically rich. Includes Kala Logo Gig Bag and onboard Fishman® Kula EQ for stage-ready performance.

A Classic with a Bold New Finish

Originally part of the acclaimed Kala Elite USA Series, the KA-SDH-BE brings high-end craftsmanship to a wider audience. The “Salt & Pepper” aesthetic is achieved through a special grain-filling and gloss-finishing technique, giving the solid mahogany a distinctive, textured depth that turns heads while enhancing resonance.

This baritone uke features an all-solid mahogany body for a full, warm tone with incredible sustain. Cream binding and rosette add vintage-inspired charm, while the Fishman® Kula preamp ensures you're ready for amplified gigs or recording sessions with built-in control.
