Somehow I'm partial to the tone of the Kala Elite with the ebony back and spruce top. The sound of the Willie K Kanile'a is really nice too (and should be for the price) and a real looker, but the other Kanile'a are a wee bit too bright for my taste. Alas, I'll try really hard not to visit the HMS shop as I've exceeded my 'ukulele quota for the quarter...
