Hi,
Longtime player of different string instruments but pretty new to uke. Wife and I both got the bug recently and we have a tenor kala PWT and concert kala exotic mahogany. Both of us prefer the tone of the tenor one more, and being laminates I'm guessing there shouldn't be too much variation between the tone of these models other than size. Have put low Gs on both too.
The cedar top kala/acacia back and sides caught my eye and sounded nice in videos, then I saw the five string version which also looks and sounds interesting:

Will this be a noticeable upgrade on the other kalas and is the acacia on these laminate? guessing it is. It's not a deal breaker as in my experience it's the top that matters most. Sorry if this is ground previously covered!
