Drawing inspiration from luthier Jonah Kumulae’s award-winning 1915 Pan Pacific International Expo entry, this all-solid mahogany soprano is crafted for players who love a classic feel and a warm resonant voice. Its centerpiece is the traditional “figure 8" body style, providing a vintage silhouette that complements the mellow, balanced tone of solid mahogany.
The slim body and open-pore finish make the instrument feel natural in your hands, while the maple rope rosette and rosewood appointments keep the look timeless and understated. A unique conversation piece, the vintage headstock features a crest paying homage to Kala’s hometown of Petaluma as the home of the World Wrist-Wrestling Championship. Finished with small pearl button tuners, this is an ideal choice for anyone wanting a comfortable everyday soprano with character, warmth, and a traditional sound that keeps you coming back to it.
