Kala KA 8 8 String Tenor Uke Unboxing and Review | Tom Strahle | Pro Guitar Secrets

#kalaukulele #gearreview #weirdinstruments
In this video I unbox and review the Kala KA-8 8-string tenor ukulele. I really liked it and should find some real practical uses for it. I give it a 5 out of 5 rating. Not your typical instrument but if you play uke or guitar it should be no problem to play and get up to speed on. Order yours below...

You got double candy?! LOL Very pretty sounding uke. And who could be anything but happy listening to that sweet sound! Now I wanna hit da beach, brah ;)

[@davidsillars3181]

That's lovely! I only play the tenor four string cheapy I got a coupe of years back, my concert one won't intonate. Might need to move the saddle. But love the sound of that! Versatile too. Kala seems a great brand.

[@elfmadebyhand]

fab review, you have convinced me, just need to mention that it is in fact a laminate, but that is not a problem, it is lovely!

[@judih.8754]

Looks good and sounds lovely.

[@LenachenUSA]

Sounds great!

[@ethanmichael17]

Love Kala. So far I have a Concert and Bari ukes by them, also a U BASS. Now I'll have to look into a tenor 🤔 that looks like a lot of fun with the 8 strings!

[@bobschumann9326]

Good video. Nice sound. Enjoy it.

[@Journeyoflove13]

Sounds nice! I have exactly the samen Kala baritone (but with 4 strings) and it has an amazing sound. Around the internet you see the most amazing ukes which aren't availeble in the Netherlands. Now I found this one at my favorite store in Germany and am comparing it with the avalable Kala KA-SCAC-T8. They're both amazing I think.
Ps you're funny!

[@bruceringrose7539]

That has a really nice sound, Tom! A lot of ukes sound like a child's toy. I also hear a little bouzouki in there!

[@ceciliaholcombe818]

I have a concert soprano uke and would really love to get this one. I heard many people have trouble pressing down...that the chords are harder to press. I can not get my hands on this uke. Any help

[@timd4524]

So its like a 12 string guitar. Was wondering how they'd do 8 strings. Nice happy sound.

[@TomStrahle]

Kind of is. But with nylon strings, like a lute.

[@johngafford9252]

I have a Kala ka-8e. I was very disappointed when I noticed a made in China sticker. I thought all Kala ukuleles are made in USA. But it looks, feels, and sounds great. Built well.

[@martinottley2395]

Makes so little difference now ...many high end guitars are now Chinese.
Kala build quality is good I have found

[@user-yg6dk9eh8g]

like a little kid at Christmas

[@samstamos427]

"Kalá" Is a Greek word, meaning "Good." So, Good!

[@martinottley2395]

Isnt this solid top...laminate back and sides

[@martinottley2395]

Or possibly all laminate?
