Kala
Pan Pacific Deluxe Solid Koa Top Mahogany Figure 8 Soprano Ukulele w/Soft Case
Product Description
The Kala Pan Pacific Koa Top Soprano Ukulele with Case is a premium soprano ukulele inspired by luthier Jonah Kumulae’s celebrated 1915 Pan Pacific International Expo design. Combining traditional craftsmanship with refined modern appointments, this instrument delivers the bright, lively character that defines classic soprano ukulele tone.
Featuring a solid Hawaiian koa top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, the Pan Pacific produces articulate projection with warm midrange depth and sparkling clarity. Its distinctive “figure 8” body shape enhances the traditional soprano voice with a responsive and expressive tonal character ideal for fingerstyle playing and melodic articulation.
Elegant details including rope purfling, a koa headplate, ebony fingerboard and bridge, and gold planetary tuners with pearl buttons give the instrument a refined vintage-inspired aesthetic. The open-pore semi-gloss finish keeps the body lightweight and resonant, maximising natural acoustic response and sustain.
Designed for discerning players and collectors, the Kala Pan Pacific Soprano blends historical inspiration with premium construction and sophisticated tone.
