Kala Concert Ukulele
Kala Concert Ukulele from the Surf Series
This Kala Concert Ukulele comes from Kala's Surf Series, a collection built around the electric spirit of surf culture and the pursuit of an endless summer. Retro-inspired surf patterns and vintage surfboard designs dress the body of the uke, giving it a look that fits right in whether it is heading for the water or cruising around town.

Who It Is For
This uke suits anyone who wants a grab-and-go instrument for beach days, boat rides, or evenings around the house, from the young grom picking up their first instrument to the old guys who rule the lineup and just want something fun to strum. The concert body size sits between a soprano and tenor, giving a bit more room to play and more resonance than the smallest ukes while staying compact enough to travel with easily.
Playing and Caring for It
Like any acoustic instrument built from wood, this ukulele is happiest kept out of direct sun, sand, and standing water, and wiped down after a day at the beach or on the boat. Nylon-family strings such as the Aquila Super Nylgut settle in over the first few days of play as they stretch and hold their tuning, so expect to tune it more often when it is new. Since this model has no built-in electronics, it plugs into an external pickup or microphone if you want to amplify it.
About Kala and the Surf Series
Kala built the Surf Series around beach culture, using retro surf patterns and vintage surfboard-inspired designs so the ukulele looks the part of the lifestyle it is made for. The idea is simple: enjoy the sound of summer wherever you go, in a form factor that travels as easily as a board bag.
