Jazz Ukulele?

Color me impressed.

Jazz Uke.... let's set the tone here with Abe Lagrimas jr



I'm a Kala fanboy and at some point I'll probably get the archtop model because I think it looks cool. Will I play better jazz with it? Probably not but one can hope If you're playing plugged-in it seems that your EQ and amp settings will help tailor the jazz sound.


However if we're talking rockabilly, it can only be played with a dedicated rockabilly uke

To reopen an old thread. I just got a Kala archtop secondhand. It did sound a bit quiet but I replaced the old strings (looked like Aquilas) with Fremont Blacks. Much more volume and cooler look.

With the "onboard electronics," it should sound as loud as you want. It's impossible to judge the volume of a ukulele online, in my opinion, because of the electronics of both recording and playing back.

This review makes it seem like a very desirable ukulele, and there is, apparently, a difference between jazz ukes and non-jazz. Ken Middleton makes it sound beautiful plugged in.
