Kala KA-P Mahogany Pineapple Ukulele, Satin

Distinctive ‘pineapple’ shape

Originally introduced by an ukulele craftsman in the 1920s and nicknamed after the fruit by his friends due to its rounded appearance, the pineapple ukulele is a hugely popular offshoot of the traditional ukulele.

The pineapple not only offers a unique aesthetic, but also has slightly different tonal qualities compared to traditional soprano ukuleles. The uke’s oval shape creates a more resonant and mellow sound in comparison to the original figure-eight ukulele design, making it a must-have addition for ukulelists.

Flagship mahogany construction

Coming from Kala’s well known Satin Mahogany range, the KA-P features an all-mahogany body and neck adorned with a smooth satin finish. This finish enhances the natural beauty of the mahogany wood while providing a smooth and comfortable feel as you move your hand up and down the neck. Topping the mahogany neck is a rich rosewood fretboard, a material well known for its silky smooth feel and contribution to lush warm tones.

High-quality strings for superior sound

Equipped with Aquila Super Nylgut® strings out of the box, the Kala pineapple soprano ukulele delivers a rich, warm tone that is both bright and full-bodied. These strings are known for their excellent tuning stability and durability, making them a reliable choice for any player.

Enhanced sound quality

The KA-P features a Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle, which enhance the instrument’s overall sound quality. These components provide better vibration transfer from the strings to the body, resulting in improved tone and sustain, giving your music a fuller, richer sound.
