Kala KA-BE Baritone Electric Ukulele Satin Mahogany with Pickup

Kala KA-BE Baritone Acoustic-Electric Ukulele

The Kala KA-BE Baritone Acoustic-Electric Ukulele is an excellent choice for players wanting to explore the deeper voice of the baritone ukulele while also having the option to plug in and perform.

Baritone ukuleles are tuned D-G-B-E, the same as the top four strings of a guitar. This makes them particularly appealing for guitar players transitioning to ukulele, as the chord shapes feel familiar while still delivering the distinctive warmth of the baritone uke.

Built with a mahogany top, back and sides, the KA-BE produces a warm, rounded tone with good note separation and a strong low end. Mahogany has long been a traditional tonewood for ukuleles, valued for its balanced response and musical character.

The KA-BE also includes onboard electronics with EQ and tuner, allowing you to plug directly into an amplifier or PA system. This makes it equally suitable for relaxed acoustic playing at home, rehearsals, recording, or live performance.

Kala’s satin mahogany series has become a trusted standard for dependable mid-range ukuleles, offering solid playability, reliable tuning stability, and consistent tone.

Each instrument is personally checked and set up before dispatch, ensuring it arrives comfortable to play and ready to enjoy from the first strum.

What Makes a Baritone Ukulele Different

Baritone ukuleles are the largest member of the ukulele family, producing a deeper, warmer voice than soprano, concert, or tenor instruments.

Key differences include:

Lower tuning
Baritone ukuleles are tuned D-G-B-E, giving them a richer and more guitar-like tonal range.

Fuller tone
The larger body produces stronger bass response and a more rounded sound.

Comfort for guitar players
Because the tuning matches the highest four strings of a guitar, chord shapes are familiar and easy to adapt.

Great for accompaniment
Baritones sit beautifully under vocals, making them popular with singer-songwriters and performers.

For many players, the baritone becomes the instrument they reach for when they want a warm, relaxed sound with plenty of depth.
