Our review

The Kala 8 String Tenor ukulele is a great choice for anyone looking for a full, rich sound. The extra strings on this ukulele give it a unique sound. Incredibly, it almost sounds like you are playing two instruments at once. But don't fear, this uke is pretty intuitive to play. There are four sets of strings, each set related to a string on a regular uke. After a session or two, you will pick it up quite easily. Strumming is a no brainer, of course. Finger picking can take a little practice, but once you get the knack, you won't look back. I actually find it helps not overthinking it! Just play it like you would any other uke. It sounds phenomenal.

From an aesthetics point of view, the KA-8 is a gorgeous instrument. It's well constructed, and highly detailed. I'm a big fan of the slotted headstock with the golden geared tuners. It's a great touch of character to an otherwise sleek and austere uke. The cream body binding pairs well with the glossy finish of the mahogany. This Kala is my go to choice for an 8-string.

You guys rock

Didn't even know 8-string ukuleles existed until Thursday morning when I heard one in action. Ordered one Thursday afternoon, and it arrived Saturday morning!
I love it; the tone is just amazing and it looks sensational as well. I was thinking of buying a baritone, as I wanted something with a bit more depth, but this fits the bill to a T and, even better, I don't have to learn baritone chords, as this one is tuned to GCEA. The tuning is a bit fiddly, but that's just until the strings settle down, and the bag is a very tight fit, but I've been playing the uke non-stop, so it's really not an issue. It is simply the best!

Floods & My Ukulele

After the floods in Lismore I ordered my new Kala mahogany 8string ukulele to help cheer me up. The correspondence between Ukulelemate was fantastic making sure that it arrived safely under the awful circumstances here. It is an absolutely beatiful ukulele with amazing sound to match. It is played everyday with so much joy whilst we recover. So I thankyou all at Ukulelemate very much for the extra effort everyone put in. Cheers Sue Somerville

FAQ

All ukuleles under $1000 are made in China. There are a handful of instruments made in the USA/Australia but they come with a hefty price tag and aren't always worth the price. Often the more affordable instruments are just as good, if not better. At ukulelemate, we have tested thousands of instruments and found the sweetspot where quality meets value.

Yes you can! We have the best returns policy in the Australian music industry. No matter what you buy from us, we will take it back within 60 days and give you a full refund for the original purchase. What's even better - we pay for the return shipping. It's simple and easy.

We offer a lifetime warranty on all products. You won't find this anywhere else in the world, most music stores offer 12 months, maybe 24 months if you are lucky. We sell products that are high quality and will last. We stand behind them with a lifetime warranty.

Each ukulele that leaves our warehouse will undergo a strict QC and setup process by our experienced staff. The setup process if fairly similar for all instruments but we will spend more time on the more expensive models. The budget models will receive all of the crucial checks but we won't spends as much time on things such as fretboard lemon oil.

We package the ukes extremely well with our own thick custom made boxes. Each year we ship thousands of ukuleles all across Australia and the world. We guarantee you will receive your uke in 100% perfect condition.
