Premium Cedar and Acacia with Extended Range

The Kala Solid Cedar Top Acacia Tenor 5-String Ukulele combines premium tonewoods with innovative 5-string design for extended range and versatility. Featuring a solid cedar top paired with acacia back and sides, this unique instrument delivers warm, resonant tone with the added depth of a low-G string, perfect for fingerstyle players and those seeking expanded musical possibilities.

Solid Cedar Top for Superior Tone

The solid cedar top provides exceptional tonal warmth and responsiveness. Cedar is prized for its immediate playability—unlike spruce which requires breaking in, cedar sounds great from day one and continues to mature beautifully over time. The solid construction ensures superior projection, sustain, and harmonic richness compared to laminate tops.

Acacia Back and Sides

Acacia (Hawaiian Koa's cousin) delivers bright, clear tone with excellent projection and balanced frequency response. The figured grain patterns create stunning visual appeal, while the tonal characteristics complement the cedar top perfectly, producing a well-balanced instrument with warmth and clarity.

5-String Configuration for Extended Range

The 5-string design adds a high-G string alongside the standard low-G configuration, giving you both options in one instrument. This versatile setup allows you to:

• Play traditional high-G ukulele voicings
• Access deep low-G bass notes for fuller arrangements
• Create rich, layered fingerstyle patterns
• Explore extended chord voicings and melodic possibilities

Tenor Size for Comfortable Playability

The tenor size provides a larger body for fuller tone and increased volume, with a 17-inch scale length that offers comfortable fret spacing. The larger body accommodates the 5-string configuration while maintaining excellent playability.
