Extended Range Excellence: Kala Gloss Solid Cedar Top Acacia 5-String Tenor Ukulele

Expand your musical horizons with the Kala Gloss Solid Cedar Top Acacia 5-String Tenor Ukulele (KA-SCAC-T5), an extraordinary instrument that combines the exceptional sound quality of Kala's acclaimed cedar/acacia series with the extended range possibilities of five-string configuration. This elegant and beautiful tenor stands among some of the best sounding ukuleles you will ever play, offering enhanced harmonic possibilities and playing techniques that open up entirely new musical territories. To complement such an excellent sounding instrument, Kala gave this series a comprehensive redesign for 2021, creating a sleek combination that showcases the stunning solid cedar top paired with gorgeous acacia back and sides, all enhanced by a lustrous high-gloss finish that amplifies the natural beauty of these premium tonewoods while accommodating the additional string with perfect balance and clarity.

The heart of this instrument's remarkable character lies in its solid cedar top, which provides a soft, lush tone that lends perfectly to fingerstyle playing and delivers the natural, loud projection that has made cedar widely recognized as the best ukulele tonewood for playing on stage. The five-string configuration adds incredible versatility to cedar's inherent projection capabilities, allowing for extended chord voicings, enhanced bass lines, and sophisticated fingerpicking patterns that were previously impossible on traditional four-string instruments. The acacia back and sides contribute brightness, clarity, and excellent sustain that beautifully complement cedar's warmth while providing the structural support needed for the additional string tension. The sophisticated design features have been meticulously crafted to match the instrument's premium sound quality, including elegant rosewood binding that beautifully frames the high-gloss finish, a stunning abalone rosette that adds luxury and visual sophistication, premium rosewood fingerboard and bridge components that enhance both aesthetics and tonal contribution, and a distinctive slotted headstock that provides optimal string angle and classical elegance. Professional appointments ensure exceptional performance across all five strings, including Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle designed specifically for five-string spacing, reliable black open gear tuners that provide smooth, precise tuning adjustment, and high-quality Aquila Super Nylgut® strings that deliver exceptional clarity and balance across the extended range. With 18 frets and the comfortable tenor scale length, this five-string instrument offers unparalleled range and musical possibilities for players ready to explore the expanded harmonic and melodic potential that only a five-string ukulele can provide. Available as part of an impressive range that spans from Long Neck Soprano through 8 String Baritone, this series represents the ultimate choice for serious musicians who demand both visual elegance and exceptional sound quality in their extended-range ukulele.
