Kala Tenor Ukulele, Natural, Right-Handed (KA-Guidance-T_W/Bag)

Collaborating with Māori cultural artist Sam Mangakahia, Kala is proud to present "The Voyage Collection" – a series of 3 unique pieces of native Māori artwork. For the past 13 years, Sam has been telling stories through his art, creating over 450 custom art pieces, each with its own narrative. The 3 designs/stories within this collection focus on specific human experiences that we all share in common: Unity, Courage, and Guidance.

These artworks, laser-etched on mahogany, are available in both concert and tenor ukulele sizes. Featuring natural elements that powerfully convey these universal themes, each ukulele comes equipped with a personalized Voyage Collection gig bag and story card hang tags that eloquently express the unique message behind each piece of art.
