A Bit of Internet Folklore... people keep asking me if the "Eddie Vedder Kala ukulele comes into Australia?"

Well Eddie doesn't have a Kala model officially, but the net being the net, people sure got excitied when he put out on social media a picture of him holding a  KA-ATP-CTG-CE Cedar top Model.

It seems that ever since Eddie Vedder stopped by Coconut Grove Music to shop for some new ukes, and had his picture taken with his new Kala Brand Music KA-ATP-CTG-CE word of Eddie using this model Kala has spread like wildfire.

A VERY LOUD UKULELE
I have played just about every Kala ukulele available in OZ and the new Solid Cedar Top range are without doubt the loudest ukuleles that Kala make, bar the Resonator or Banjoleles.

The Tilt Back Headstock design puts more string pressure on the Nut and the nut itself being by Graph Tech, ensure that every bit of string energy is transferred to the Ukuleles Cedar Top. Cedar wood topes are renowned for resonating loudly, they are stiff  and have more mid and bottom tone than say spruce.

The Cedar top features strong projection and a deep tone that works in perfect harmony with the resonant Acacia back and sides.

A striking red Padauk binding surrounds the Cedar top, and lends a visual and aural contrast to the darker Acacia. The upscale slotted headstock features a beautiful carved Kala logo, and vintage style open tuners.

FIRE THE LASER
Laser etched Kala logo will not make it sound any better, but I love lasers and Laser etching is cool.

SLIPPERY STUFF NUTS
Fitted with the Graph Tech Nu Bone nuts and saddles too, these are pricey items and guess what, they work..no snake oil..
I have been  fitting Graph Tech nuts and saddles for years when I owned my Guitar shop, I reckon every guitar I own has graph Tech fitted, and  my personal ukuleles do too.

"NuBone XB nuts and saddles give our ukes increased volume and sustain while adding clarity and sweetness to each note.  We are very stoked to be partnering with Graph Tech and featuring their products on the majority of our instruments."  - Michael Upton - President Kala Brand Music Co.

THERE IS NO REASON TO ACCEPT A CHEAP PLASTIC NUT OR SADDLE WHEN YOU CAN ADD TONE WITH NUBONE
Plastic nuts and saddles vary greatly; many are made without any consideration for the instrument, tend to be too soft or too brittle,
even hollow, killing tone and sustain.  NuBone is designed to enhance tone and is backed by 20 years of research and development.

NuBone is a derivative of Graph Tech's highly resonant TUSQ material, manufactured to very close tolerances under high heat and pressure.  Graph Tech uses specific ratios that contribute to NuBone's hardness, workability, appearance, and most importantly, guitar performance.  Odorless when sanded, it is strong, outlasting and outperforming plastic.  NuBone is the answer!

HOW DOES IT SOUND?
NuBone delivers clear highs, a nice low end with overall fullness and a balanced sound that has increased harmonics and volume.
