Kala Brushed Nickel Tenor Resonator Ukulele – A Tone Like No Other

If you've ever wanted a ukulele that turns heads before you've played a single note, the Kala Brand Brushed Nickel Tenor Resonator Ukulele is it. Sleek, silvery, and built for players who want something genuinely different, this instrument blends vintage resonator character with modern playability — and it sounds as striking as it looks.

Built for Players Who Want to Stand Out

The all-bell brass body and brushed nickel matte finish give this uke an unmistakable aesthetic. It's the kind of instrument that sits beautifully on a stand in a studio or commands attention on a stage. But this isn't style over substance — the aluminium resonator cone delivers clear, shimmering mid-range tone with natural projection that cuts through any mix, live or recorded.

Tenor Scale, Big Sound

The tenor scale length (17.19 inches) gives you comfortable fret spacing and a fuller, richer sound than soprano or concert models. With 20 frets and a bone nut, playability is smooth and precise — whether you're fingerpicking folk melodies or strumming through a gig set. Aquila Super Nylgut® strings come fitted as standard, offering warm, balanced tone straight out of the box.

Gig-Ready from Day One

A built-in passive piezo pickup means you can plug straight into an amp or PA without any modifications. The mahogany neck and high-pressure laminate fingerboard keep the instrument stable and responsive, while smooth body contours ensure comfort during long playing sessions. It even comes with a padded resonator gig bag — purpose-built for this model's unique dimensions.
