Kala Elite 2KOA-TG ALL Solid Hawaiian Koa Tenor Ukulele Gloss w/Hard caseHandmade in PETALUMA California USA.serial 05330216comes with Certificate of Authenticity by Kala Brand Music Co. The Kala Elite ukulele captures the eye with its striking beauty.We are using Solid Hawaiian Koa for all of our current offerings. We are using a modern UV finishing process that brings out the unique appearance of each instrument with incredible clarity. The UV finish is sprayed on in thin coats and uses far less material than a typical lacquered instrument. In essence, a UV finish is far less impactful to our environment than other finishes. It also keeps the instrument lightweight while providing a very hard durable finish. The Kala Elite instruments range from understated beauty to graceful appointments.The WoodSolid Hawaiian Koa, long associated with the ukulele, is the primary wood that we are using to launch the Kala Elite ukulele line. We offer 3 levels of Hawaiian Koa, each level showing an increasing amount of flame and figuring.HeadplatesKoa and Ebony headplates are used to top the necks of our ukulele. The logo and inlay are CNC'd for a perfect match of parts.FingerboardsUsing Rosewood and Koa the Elite fingerboards are also cut on CNC machines ensuring that each ukulele looks and plays beautifully.FinishWith each wood we use a different style of UV finishing. The finish is hard and light protecting the instrument and also bringing out the Chatoyancy of the Koa wood. Chatoyancy, a term from the French words for "Cats Eye Effect" describe how the wood grain with certain finishes can achieve a striking three-dimensional appearance similar to a cat's eye.The Kala Elite ukulele are purposefully designed and engineered to feel amazing and play easily.The fret spacing, nut placement and saddle positioning are all calculated to give the Kala Elite ukulele the best intonation available on any ukulele on the planet. This in combination with the Kala 16:1 and 14:1 ratio tuners and fluorocarbon strings allow these ukes the freedom to play tunes... in tune. The concert and tenor feature a 1 1/2" fingerboard width and custom string spacing that gives your fingers extra room to navigate comfortably on the fretboard. The Honduran Mahogany neck has been contoured and tapered to fit in your hand smoothly, comfortably with plenty of access to low and high notes.IntonationFret spacing, string diameter, string deflection and several other key variables were taken into account when calculating fret spacing and location. Taking all of these factors into account, the Elite ukulele line has the best intonation of any ukulele on the market.Neck & HeadstockThe Elite is designed to give extra space for the hand to come up into the headstock so that fingers can be positioned easily in the first position.UV FinishingKala has invested heavily into its finish process. We consulted with several key individuals with many years of hands on experience in finishing instruments using UV-cured finish materials. We are able to apply a thin, stable and beautiful finish on every instrument.String SpacingDesigned with a wider string spacing than most ukulele, the Elite is comfortable and easy to play.
