Mahalo Artist Elite Photo Flame Koa Soprano Ukulele with Bag
The Mahalo Artist Elite MA1KA is a soprano ukulele whose top, back and sides are covered in a photographic flame koa graphic. It is the smallest size in the series: light, easy for small hands to hold, and tuned like any standard ukulele.
What sets it apart
- Flame koa graphic over the whole body
- Amara ebony fingerboard and bridge
- Abalone dot position markers
- Gold vintage tuners
- Heavy-duty carry bag included
The koa look at a starter price
Genuine Hawaiian koa is expensive. Mahalo recreates its flamed look with a printed graphic on a linden body with an arched back; the neck is mahogany. It catches the eye from across the room without the price of a rare tonewood.
The soprano, where most players start
With a 34.6 cm scale and 12 frets, this is the most compact size in the series. The traditional solid headstock keeps a classic look. Chord shapes need only small stretches, which helps children and first-timers.
