The Kala Umbra Acacia Black Walnut Tenor Ukulele is a professional-grade instrument created for serious musicians who expect exceptional tone, refined comfort, and commanding visual presence. Its all-solid construction pairs a highly figured solid acacia top with solid black walnut back and sides, producing a harmonically rich voice with warmth, clarity, sustain, and crystalline projection.
A reduced-mass bracing design allows the body to respond freely, giving the Umbra an open and expressive character across both delicate fingerstyle passages and powerful strumming. The beveled cutaway provides effortless access to the upper register, while the rosewood comfort edge creates a smooth and natural feel against the player's arm.
The onboard L.R. Baggs Five-O pickup system is engineered specifically for ukulele, preserving the Umbra's natural acoustic character when connected to an amplifier, recording interface, or professional sound system. Its discreet soundhole volume control makes stage adjustments simple without interrupting the instrument's elegant design.
Premium appointments include a highly detailed abalone, mahogany, and spalted maple rosette, rosewood binding, bone nut and saddle, and distinctive black-and-gold open-gear tuning machines. A road-ready Kala black hardshell case with plush interior is included to protect the instrument during storage and transportation.
