Description

The Kala NS-KOA-B Baritone Ukulele, part of the Revelator™ Nautilus series, combines visually striking Hawaiian Koa with the tonal warmth of Honduran Mahogany. Renowned for its stunning grain patterns and sound quality, this baritone model is crafted entirely by hand in the Kala USA Workshop in Petaluma, California. The instrument features a minimally braced Koa top to enhance resonance and tonal clarity.

Designed with superior playability, the NS-KOA-B boasts a hand-carved neck that glides smoothly into a beautiful heel transition, providing access to the higher frets, an attribute rare in many ukuleles. Its ebony bridge, fingerboard, and headplate are complemented by intricate inlays of Koa and Australian Mother of Pearl, adding an elegant touch.

Gold Grover tuners with a 14:1 gear ratio ensure exceptional tuning stability, while the custom Koa branch headstock inlay offers a striking aesthetic contrast. Each ukulele comes with an Olive Tweed Archtop Revelator Ukulele Hard Case to protect and preserve your instrument.

Maintaining optimal humidity levels (40-60%) is crucial for the health of this ukulele, with storage away from extreme temperatures and sunlight recommended. As part of the quality assurance process, allow 3 to 6 business days for inspection and setup before shipping.

This baritone ukulele, equipped with Brown Fluorocarbon strings and a passive piezo pickup, offers both a natural acoustic experience and the flexibility for amplified performances.
