Your First Stage Awaits
The Makala Classic line by Kala has earned a legendary reputation: offering the best value for money for beginners. This Tenor with EQ model (MK-T-E) takes that winning formula to the next level. It adds not only the bigger, deeper, and more resonant sound of the tenor size but also a versatile preamp system that allows you to plug into an amplifier and play live. It's the instrument that grows with you, from your room to your first open mic night.
Why Choose the Makala Classic Tenor with EQ?
- Ready for the Gig with Quality Electronics: The onboard Kala PS-900 preamp gives you control. Adjust the volume and shape your sound with the tone controls (bass and treble) to suit any room. It's the simplest and most reliable system to start exploring the world of amplification.
- Big, Deep Sound of the Tenor Size: Forget thin sounds. The tenor body, the largest of the standard ukuleles, offers exceptional volume, surprising bass response, and a warmth that fills the room. The spacious fretboard also makes it extremely comfortable, especially for those coming from guitar.
- Legendary Makala Quality and Playability: Despite the affordable price, the build quality is evident. The satin mahogany body provides a classic look and a pleasant sound, while the Aquila Super Nylgut® strings ensure great intonation and a bright tone right out of the box.
- A Classic and Timeless Look: With its satin finish that reveals the wood grain and a no-frills approach, this ukulele focuses on what matters. A vintage design that never goes out of style and prioritizes sound and comfort.
