The Kala Meranti Soprano Ukuele is rich in both color and tone. The semi-transparent stain allows the Meranti wood grain to show through, highlighting the best of both worlds—striking color plus a beautiful wood texture. Meranti is a durable wood which makes it a great choice as an entry-level instrument. Each Modern Meranti offers a place to unleash your creativity, show off your personality, experiment and learn new things.
