Description
Kala METD-SPR-T Metropolitan Deluxe Spruce Top Rosewood Tenor Ukulele
The Kala METD-SPR-T Metropolitan Deluxe Spruce Top Rosewood Tenor Ukulele is handmade in Java with a solid spruce top and solid Javanese rosewood back and sides. Also, it features mahogany binding and an Artichoke & Vine headstock inlay. Additionally, it ships with a Kala Transit Series gig bag and a Tenor 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 bright, articulate clarity on top, while the rosewood back and sides add warmth and resonance underneath it. 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-T 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-T use?
By default, it uses standard tenor tuning, G-C-E-A.
Does the METD-SPR-T come with a case?
It does not include a hard case. Instead, it ships with a Kala Transit Series gig bag sized for tenor ukuleles.
Where is the Kala METD-SPR-T 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.
