Description
The Kala KA-WMT-RD-S Maritime Red Transparent Soprano Waterman Ukulele is a soprano ukulele from Kala's Waterman Sea Glass Collection, made of ABS composite plastic in a translucent gloss maritime red finish inspired by sea glass. It is set up with Aquila Super Nylgut strings and nickel-plated open-gear tuners, and it ships with a Kala custom logo tote bag and a Mini Quick Start Guide.
Why choose a plastic Waterman ukulele?
The Kala KA-WMT-RD-S is water-resistant, durable and easy to clean, so it can go to the beach, the campsite or a classroom where a wooden ukulele would be at risk from humidity, splashes and knocks. Kala recommends the Waterman for school programs.
