Nice review. I like the way Kala have gradually implimented my recommendations and made headway on the possibilities of this design. Frankie has really done a blinder with those black bursts. I'm glad the import model is coming on line soon. Can't wait to see them. Well done Alex for commisioning these pieces.
I have yet to see a Revelator in person. I love them all. I live in a bit of a remote place and our music shops don't carry such high end instruments. One of these days I'll be walking through your door, credit card at the ready. Cheers!
These look and sound amazing. The maple top was my favorite although the blood wood was great too. What would I like to see? Some subtle fret markers at the normal spots. I know it’s a small thing that takes away from the overall aesthetic but I rely on those for playing. I know there are side dots but I never look there. I played a guitar for 40 years and never knew it had side dots until recently. 😊
While i would never assume to say I'm anywhere the authority on Ukuleles the Maple your playing is not Quilted Maple it's Curly or Tiger Maple. Quilted looks like Puffy Clouds not Stripped like the one you're playing. Thanks Alex, excellent as always.
These are all gorgeous. Kala have done well in adapting a unique luthier design and making it slightly more mass market. I still cannot afford any of them, or play them to a standard they deserve. An English Pear Ukulele is an item which never existed in my consciousness, but suddenly has become a must have! But thanks for the review, I can perhaps dream..
what beauties - the blue one 💙💙💙 and the pear/korina : with the unforgiving top and a forgiving back looking forward to hear the night owls (and dreaming of a blue one)

I really like the blood wood too. What about using Snow gum wood or mountain gum wood tree from Australia
My jaw dropped when I saw the price on the Night Owl! Hard to resist at that price!
Yeah that blue one is cool

Totally agree... some meaningful fret markers would definitely be an improvement.
That English Pear wood is gorgeous! Also sounds awesome. Oh, but then the blue...wow...

I love the English pear, very different looking. And the blue quilted maple, so beautiful. ❤️
Nice review, exciting to see all those models and variations, and Romeo on the Blueberry fun little ditty sounded great!
Just such a legendary class bespoke design. Well done to Kala continuing to ensure Master Luthier genius reaches all. Thanks for the run through.
Woo hoo! The blood wood baritone caught my ear! 👍 They are all lookers! 👏👏👏 The revelators are in a class of their own....!
Alex! Do you have the tabs for this arrangement of Silent Night?? Thanks.
I don't, I'm sorry.
That Baritone sounds like butter to my ears, lovely.
Congrats on the models, they sound lovely. Would be great to see a Soprano version one day
KALA Are just Killin' It Right Now!
Are they solid mahogany on back and sides or laminate?
Solid
The blue one for me.
Cant wait to get the pair 2
Love them all 👍👍😀
How do you change the strings??? Is that a pin Bridge? That blue is gorgeous.
Pin bridges, yes.
Oak? Have oak trees in garden
