Part of the SOLID SPRUCE TOP MAHOGANY series, this Kala combines a sober and elegant aesthetic with a highly appreciated lutherie formula: the clarity of spruce on the top, complemented by the warm simplicity of mahogany on the back and sides. A coherent choice in a range focused on musicality, intonation, and immediate enjoyment.
Thanks to its concert body shape and Aquila Super Nylgut strings, this Kala is well suited for beginners looking for an easy-to-handle instrument, as well as intermediate players seeking a more articulated sound. It performs particularly well in vocal accompaniment, pop, folk, indie, and in rhythmic strumming with a pick or fingers, while remaining comfortable for chord playing and arpeggios.
The solid spruce top provides a quick response and clear attack, ideal for highlighting chord details and maintaining definition even during strumming. The mahogany back and sides complement the tone with a softer, warmer color, emphasizing singing mids and rounded lows. The overall result offers convincing balance: clarity for projection and a pleasant roundness for accompaniment, with natural sustain and dynamics that are easy to control.
To protect the instrument daily, a concert-sized gig bag is the most suitable option. Alternatively, a set of Aquila Super Nylgut strings for concert size will help maintain the original feel and tonal balance.
