Kala NSL-MNG-T Revelator Master Grade Mango Tenor Ukulele #37391023

Wow! The revelator design has been successfully passed over to Kala by Pete Howlett, and what a superb job they have done with this, our first Kala Revelator. It sounds every bit as good as one of Pete's, and feels and looks the part too.

Pete has always described the revelator as an 'acoustic anomaly'. Basically, he means that it has no right sounding as good as it does acoustically. If you have never heard a revelator before you might see the slimline body and assume that there is going to be no acoustic volume or projection. And you wouldn't be more wrong! It is loud, lively and characterful, with a fuller tone than it has a right to make.

In the hand, it is so light (without ever feeling fragile), because it is not a solid body instrument. The body is routed out before the top is glued to it, so very clever acoustic chambers are created which pump out this supernaturally rich and vibrant sound. And when you plug it in, you'll notice a very high quality sound through the installed passive piezo pickup.

Highly recommended! Pictures show the actual instrument you will receive.

This is a limited edition model made of master grade mango. Personally as a fan of mango I have waited years for Pete to make one of these and am delighted Kala are beginning to experiment with the vast select pieces of wood Mike Upton has acquired for them in Petaluma, CA over the years.It sounds richer to me than a korina revelator with more natural bass frequencies coming through. I can't even begin to imagine the possibilities its eventual owner will have trying different strings on this ukulele. I can't wait to get more!
