Kala NS-KOA-B Revelator Nautilus Hawaiian Koa Baritone Ukulele w/ Pickup
The Kala Revelator Nautilus Baritone Ukulele is a masterful blend of artistry and innovation that redefines premium ukulele performance. Firstly, this baritone-size instrument features a Hawaiian Koa top that delivers a rich, resonant tone, while the Honduran Mahogany back and sides provide warmth and balance. Furthermore, its UV-cured satin finish enhances both the natural beauty and durability of the wood.
The elegant ebony headstock with Beizier curve design and Florentine cutaway offer a luxurious, modern appeal, and then the hand-cut Corian nut and saddle ensure precise intonation. Compared to standard ukuleles, the Revelator Nautilus’s gold Grover tuners with a 14:1 geared ratio make tuning smooth and stable. Above all, the inclusion of Worth Brown Fluorocarbon strings, with D’Addario wound D and G, ensures clarity and projection that every performer will appreciate.
Precision, Playability, and Performance in Every Detail
The Kala Revelator Nautilus Baritone Ukulele also stands out because it merges superior construction with stage-ready versatility. Indeed, its passive piezo pickup allows for natural amplification without compromising tonal integrity, and the 19" scale length with 20 frets provides excellent range for expressive play. Similarly, the ebony fretboard and bridge deliver smooth action and lasting strength, while the Hawaiian Koa and Australian Mother-of-Pearl inlays add refined visual elegance.
During extended sessions, the ergonomic body depth of 1.49" and balanced weight make it comfortable to hold and play. In addition, this ukulele’s D-G-B-E tuning, complete with wound D and G strings, produces a full, guitar-like sound ideal for both solo and ensemble settings. Finally, the included Kala Olive Tweed Archtop Hardshell Case ensures your investment is safely protected wherever music takes you.

Customer Review:
Great Uke
The Kala Revalator Premium Korina that I purchased from the Terry Carter Music Store is a beaut and sounds terrific. I have several ukes of various makes and price ranges, but none made of Korina. The Korina has a warm tone all its own, very distinguishable from the koa, mahogany, cedar, and spruce topped ukes I already owned and the unconventional Pete Howlett design makes the Revalator a very attractive uke. The folks at Terry Carter were prompt in shipping and the uke would have arrived promptly had UPS not dropped the ball, but that is no reflection on Terry Carter Music Store. Thanks again Terry Carter Music for having in stock the instrument I was looking for and the exceptional service you provided.
