Description
Kala METD-BMR-B Metropolitan Deluxe Black Night Mango Baritone Ukulele
The Kala METD-BMR-B Metropolitan Deluxe Black Night Mango Baritone Ukulele is a solid mango baritone, handmade in Java with a black-night gloss finish, ebony binding, and a Mango Vine headstock inlay. Additionally, it ships with a Kala Transit Series gig bag and a Baritone Revelator string set already installed.
What makes the Black Night Mango finish different from a standard mango ukulele?
Kala applies the Black Night gloss stain over solid mango, allowing the wood’s natural curl and figuring to show through as dark striping instead of the lighter honey tones of untreated mango. Kala also bookmatches each top from a single board, giving every instrument a unique grain pattern. In addition, Kala photographs and serial-numbers every Metropolitan Deluxe unit it makes.

Common questions
Is the Kala METD-BMR-B a solid-wood ukulele?
Yes — the top, back, and sides are all solid mango, not laminate, so the tone continues to open up tonally the more the instrument is played.
What tuning does the METD-BMR-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-BMR-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-BMR-B made?
It's handmade in Java, Indonesia, as part of Kala's Metropolitan Deluxe series.
Will my instrument look exactly like the product photos?
Yes — mango is a highly figured tonewood and no two tops are alike, so Kala photographs and serial-matches each Metropolitan Deluxe instrument individually. Use the Serial # selector above to choose your unit; 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.
