Review: Kala Salt & Pepper Doghair Mahogany and Flame Maple Cutaway

These two eye-catching ukes have some surprising similarities despite their obvious visual differences

The acoustic-electric TKE is very much a working musician's ukulele

This solid wood instrument is designed to achieve the sound, look, and feel of the classic Martin Style 0 ukulele—with a few modern upgrades

I was intrigued: Could a concert-size instrument have the tonal heft of a true tenor?

These solid-wood ukes are great for someone ready to take their playing to the next level with a higher-quality instrument

Underneath its colorful exterior, this tenor has a few unusual, if not unique, features worth discussing

These ukuleles don’t do incognito—that’s not what they’re here for

Kala is taking a big risk with the Revelator, but the reason becomes clear when you get one of these ukuleles in your hands

With old-growth wood and modern features, this uke sounds as good as you'd hope and plays effortlessly

While it is a hollow body with a soundport at the top, this uke is really meant to be plugged in
