Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Kai KTI-5000 is a seriously impressive tenor ukulele for the price. That all-acacia build gives it a rich, full sound that you’d expect from a much more expensive instrument. It's a great choice for intermediate players or anyone looking for a premium-feeling uke without the premium price tag.
