Description
Kala METD-SPR-B Metropolitan Deluxe Spruce Top Rosewood Baritone Ukulele
The Kala METD-SPR-B Metropolitan Deluxe Spruce Top Rosewood Baritone Ukulele is handmade in Java with a solid spruce top, solid Javanese rosewood back and sides, mahogany binding, and an Artichoke & Vine headstock inlay. Additionally, it ships with a Kala Transit Series gig bag and a Baritone Revelator string set already installed.
What does pairing a spruce top with rosewood back and sides do to the tone?
Spruce is a stiff, lightweight tonewood that responds quickly and produces a bright, articulate top end, while the rosewood back and sides add depth and sustain underneath it — the combination gives this baritone a commanding, balanced voice rather than a strictly warm or strictly bright one. The rosewood grain is naturally variable, so Kala photographs and serial-numbers every Metropolitan Deluxe unit it makes.
When you choose your serial number above, the photos update to show the exact instrument that ships with your order, not a stock photo of the model.

Common questions
Is the Kala METD-SPR-B a solid-wood ukulele?
Yes — the top is solid spruce. In addition, the back and sides are solid rosewood, not laminate.
What tuning does the METD-SPR-B use?
It arrives in standard baritone tuning, D-G-B-E (low to high). In other words, it uses the same tuning as the four highest strings of a guitar.
Does the METD-SPR-B come with a case?
It does not include a hard case. Instead, it ships with a Kala Transit Series gig bag sized for baritone ukuleles.
Where is the Kala METD-SPR-B made?
It’s handmade in Java, Indonesia. Also, it’s part of Kala’s Metropolitan Deluxe series.
Will my instrument look exactly like the product photos?
Yes — rosewood grain varies piece to piece, so Kala photographs and serial-matches each Metropolitan Deluxe instrument individually. Use the Serial # selector above to choose your unit. Then, the photos update to show the exact instrument that ships for that serial number, not a generic stock photo. Each serial listed is a specific, currently available instrument — once a serial sells, it’s removed from the list.
Customer review: "This is a responsive, articulate instrument. The feel in your hands is alive and powerful. Spruce makes for a loud top, but it is also very sweet sounding. I love this uke."
