Top, Body, and Neck

The Kala Makala MK-P Pineapple Soprano Ukulele is predominantly crafted from kauri, recovered from bogs as old as a millennium. Kauri is, in fact, obtained from the old coniferous trees of New Zealand. This tonewood variety exhibits a pleasing shimmer, which enhances the aesthetic appeal of this instrument. Kauri offers excellent note separation and extended sustain. The neck of this ukulele is made from mahogany, which makes this instrument suitable for a wide range of musical genres. The sound delivered by mahogany is characterized by emphasis on bright treble notes. Mahogany flattens the high frequencies and draws up vibrations from the strings to offer a crisp, clean sound. Its ability to transfer sound from the neck to the top at a high velocity results in a large number of overtones.

Laurel Fretboard

The fretboard of the Kala Makala MK-P Pineapple Soprano Ukulele is constructed from Laurel, which offers you a smooth feel. This tonewood variety offers a wide tonal range, thereby letting you experiment with a whole gamut of musical styles. The oily pores of Laurel absorbs all the undesirable stray overtones, thus producing warm and mellow tones. The voice of Laurel is marked by pronounced lows, bell-tone highs, and a scooped midrange. Furthermore, the close arrangement of frets on this instrument makes it a fitting choice for budding musicians.

Saddle and Strings

The saddle and nut of the Pineapple Soprano Ukulele are crafted from quality plastic, which helps bring down the weight of the instrument to a great extent. Plastic is resistant to environmental changes, so this ukulele is a boon for travelling musicians. In addition, plastic offers warm tones with excellent clarity. This ukulele is fitted with Aquila’s Supernylgut strings to enhance your performance and add to your fan base. The smooth surface of the strings makes for a comfortable playing experience. Supernylgut helps this ukulele remain in tune even after prolonged use. As a result, you obtain a deep and focused sound output.

Easy to Use

The minimalist and compact design of the Kala Makala MK-P Pineapple Soprano Ukulele enables you to compose melodies with minimal tuning trials. It offers tremendous ease of play owing to its unique shape and the perfect string action. This instrument is reminiscent of the traditional ukuleles of Honolulu from the 1960s.
