Jun 7, 2019 · I have two options for my income - the Kala Mahogany Resonator (the Brass cover plate model) or the Sound Smith Okoume Resonator. Both are tenors, though the Kala connects to body at 14th fret, and Smith is at 12. Sound Smith has nothing but amazing reviews. Kala has mixed reviews but a trusted name.

THE LOOK This lovely asymmetrical body shape is similar to an early-’30s Kay-Kraft guitar, and with a gorgeous marble-turquoise finish, the Beltona is a stunner among this group of stunners. (Beltona offers more conventionally shaped ukes, too.) But, what really sets these ukes apart is that UK maker Steve Evans makes the bodies from fiberglass (ra...
THE LOOK As the most affordable reso-uke in this roundup, the Gretsch stands out with its combination of a warmly colored mahogany body and shiny coverplate. Snowflake fingerboard inlays add a nice vintage touch, though a greater contrast between the wood and inlays would have showed them off better. THE FEEL The laminated mahogany body is a strong...
THE LOOK With banjos and resonator guitars being among Gold Tone’s specialties, it’s no wonder that the company has a resonator-ukulele in its lineup. Simply named ResoUke, the Gold Tone’s brass body has a brushed-chrome finish that looks utilitarian badass, while the ivoroid-bound fingerboard is an elegant touch. THE FEEL With a nicely shaped nut ...
THE LOOK With pearloid binding outlining the body and an antique-brass coverplate (that’s destined to build up a great patina over time), the Kala KA-RES-BRS exudes a posh, elegantly vintage vibe. A subtle matte-sunburst finish adorns the laminated mahogany-body and features an arched back and f-holes in the upper bouts. THE FEEL As we usually see ...
THE LOOK With its shiny metal body and stylized South Pacific-themed pattern etched into the top, the Luna Tiki flashes a vintage vibe and twists it with a touch of tiki-themed whimsy. Triangle fretboard inlays and the words “TIKI Uke-A-Nator” etched into the metal strap that protects the resonator and serves as a handrest complete the stylish pres...
THE LOOK Here is the original, and the fountain that all the others sip inspiration from. With National’s now-iconic palm tree design sandblasted on the front and back, and the bound ebony fingerboard made by modern-day artisans in San Luis Obispo, California, the National is in a class all by itself. THE FEEL As you have to expect at this price, e...
THE LOOK The Recording King is the only shiny-body reso-uke here unsullied by an etched or sandblasted design. Its pearloid faceplate on the headstock, complete with a Recording King badge and the ivoroid neck binding add to the dazzling vintage vibe. It never failed to elicit “ooh’s” and “aah’s” from all who gazed upon its mirror-like nickel finis...
A Slovak immigrant named John Dopyera invented resonator guitars (and in 1928, ukuleles) in his Los Angeles-based shop for the company that later became National String Instrument Corp. During this era, bands were getting louder and guitarists (and ukulele players) were looking for instruments capable of being heard with bigger bands in large un-am...

Resonator Ukulele – Kala Brand Music Co.™. The Resonator Ukulele is fitted with a lightweight aluminum resonator directly into the Mahogany body. The resonator gets a brass cover and the body gets elegant F-holes to give this model its distinct appearance. Available in a tenor model.
The Kala reso is a wooden bodied instrument, unlike the (perhaps) more common metal bodied resonators, and at first glance I think it looks tremendous. It is made from laminate mahogany in the body (solid wood not being felt necessary as all the tone resonance is coming from the resonator unit) and is finished in a kind of vintage semi sunburst ...
£279.00. This brass resonator uke from Kala is the product of years of development - basically as the initial designs weren't that great! But to be fair, Kala have stuck at it and produced this new, much improved version. This tenor uke has plenty of volume, decent sustain and a real bluesy, rasping tone.
