Kala KA-RES-BNI-T-E Brushed Nickel Finish Electro Tenor Resonator Ukulele w/gigbag

This resonator tenor is brand new from Kala for 2025, even unavailable directly from the Kala website at the time of writing this! We are thrilled to bring you their latest offering of resonator ukuleles. 

Previously there has only been a very small section for resonators in the ukulele gene pool, with few options at an affordable price. Taking into account all of those who can't stretch to something like a National resonator ukulele, Kala have really done what Kala do best here, and developed a range to satiate the appetites of as many resonator enthusiasts as possible, without breaking the bank.

The KA-RES-BNI-T-E is a tenor scale, brushed nickel finished resonator with mountains of punch and power. If you are unfamiliar with resonators, In place of a traditional soundboard top, the resonator features a brass housing containing an aluminium cone that produces the sound when played, amplifying the natural volume of the instrument.

The beautiful classic brushed nickel finish of this resonator is clean and crisp from edge to edge, with accents such as the creme neck binding and distressed finish to the neck stain and Kluson style tuners with a light distressing of their own giving a nod to the vintage style. 

This model is also fitted with a piezo passive under-saddle pick-up, which means it's ripe and ready for you to bring it straight to the stage and start ripping some licks right away. As an added bonus, this one also comes with a padded gigbag.

If you love a bit of the delta blues or dabble in the tin pan alley era of ukulele music then this is perfect for producing a deliberately brittle and filtered resophonic sound. Explore your inner Phil Doleman or Dead Mans uke now!
