A Soprano Ukulele With a Story Worth Telling

The Kala All Solid Bamboo Soprano Ukulele is one of those instruments that gives you something to talk about before you even play a note. We have it here at The Pied Piper Music Store in New Albany, Ohio just outside Columbus, and whether you are drawn to it for the sustainability angle, the distinctive natural aesthetic, or simply because you want a quality all solid soprano at a fair price, this ukulele delivers on every front.

Why Bamboo

Bamboo grows to harvestable size in three to five years and regenerates from its root system without replanting, making it one of the most renewable materials available for instrument building. Beyond the environmental story, bamboo has genuinely excellent acoustic properties. Its density produces bright, clear tones with impressive projection and sustain for a soprano, and the straight grain pattern gives each instrument a distinctive natural look that stands apart from traditional tonewoods. Every piece of bamboo is unique, which means your ukulele is too.

The all solid construction throughout the body, neck, and fingerboard means this instrument will open up and improve with age and playing, the same way a solid wood instrument does. That is a meaningful difference from laminate instruments at this price point.

Premium Components That Matter

Kala fitted the KA-BMB-S with Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle, which improves tone transfer and sustain over standard plastic components, and Aquila Super Nylgut strings, which are widely regarded as the finest ukulele strings available. The slotted headstock adds a classic, traditional look, and the satin finish lets the natural bamboo grain speak for itself. Fifteen frets give you the full soprano range, and the 13.5 inch scale length is the classic soprano feel that players love.
