Price Drop New Price! Kala Elite Koa-TG, Gorgeous Tenor!

[jopatm]

Aloha all,
Hi again all. Kimo Ukuleles just sold me a new tenor so I really have to pair down some of the herd.
This is the second price drop in 2 weeks because I'm kind of in a position that I have to sell.
Awesome deal on an awesome instrument.
I have a gorgeous Kala Elite tenor that I'm regretfully parting with.
This ukulele is perfect in every way. 1.5" nut width, very comfortable string spacing, killer master grade koa with sap stripe front and back, and beautiful maple binding on both sides. Even the headstock decoration flower is reserved for Kala Elite's top-of-the-line ukuleles

This is Kala Elite's very top-of-the-line for their premier line of ukuleles.
The list price on this uke is $2300. and the street price was $1850.

Made in 2022, there are no scratches, dents, smears, bug bites, etc. Strung with Oasis Warm low G and Worth Brown C, E, and A. Oiled fretboard. The ukulele is warm and mellow but very powerful.
Someone is going to be extremely happy with this uke at this price. The Kala Elite case alone is special.
I have an overabundance of Koa instruments so I'm trying to even out my wood choices.

Comes with a Kala certificate of authenticity.

I've bought and sold a lot of ukuleles on this forum.
I will include shipping in CONUS with the price.

$900. PayPal Friends and Family or buyer pays the PP fees.
Here's The Ukulele Site's blog on this exact ukulele with Brittni Paiva doing the demo.

Kala Elite Koa Tenor (Koa-TG 3456)

This is a new tenor from Kala's USA shop. It features gorgeous Hawaiian koa for the body and is framed off with curly maple binding. This is a standard 17" tenor scale, but with a more modern styled 1.5" nut width for a little more space when chording or picking. It also has Kala's new x bracing...

Beautiful Koa on this one, I don't think that's always the case on these. The US made ukes are up there with some of the best! That's the reason I took a chance on my first Revelator, and I wasn't disappointed. Good luck with your sale!

This quote is from Bluesy. A UU VIP

"The first thing to know is that the Kala Elite line is very different from Kala's mass produced instruments. These instruments are USA made and each instrument receives individual attention from skilled craftsmen.

I own a Kala Elite Concert and it has been a wonderful instrument. The build quality is exacting: tight joins, a clean interior and excellent tone and volume. They are made in Kala's custom shop in Petaluma California. If you go to Kala's website, you can learn more about them. There is a shop tour on YouTube if you are interested in seeing the their craftsmen in action. There are plenty of reviews of the Kala Elites online as well.

Because the Kala brand is so ubiquitous and associated with mass production, the Kala Elite line has had a challenge breaking into a higher market level, so it is not difficult to find an excellent price for the Kala Elite instruments on the secondary market.

The nut is fairly wide at 38mm and the neck is "D" shaped. That's an important consideration, so keep that in mind when shopping."

Bluesy.

I have a Kala elite concert and a tenor. They are very nice solid instruments, right up there with the big Hawaiian 4.
