Comment
The entry-level model in concert size of the fully Japanese-produced Ka'ala brank. The design is clearly based on the classic Martin look.
Its top and side consist of three layers of laminate of ovangkol, Japanese Linden (Shinanoki) and Ovangkol and are 1.8 mm thick. Its saddle and nut are made of bovine bone. The saddle is multipart so that each string can be compensated individually. The bridge is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The instrument is provided with direct pegs. The pitch accuracy and intonation and precision of the sound are breathtaking.
