The tried-and-true Kala KA-SMH-C Solid Mahogany Concert features a refined look destined to last a lifetime.

Kala truly did an excellent job with this SMH line. This concert has a very warm, classic tone that pleases the ears.

Mahogany continues to be used despite it being harder to find and more expensive. This is a wood that has been used for stringed instruments for the last century because it has soft and hard wood qualities to it with excellent sonic character. The SMHC not only sounds good, it looks good! The bindings are very precisely routed for, quality wood with clean construction, and the design and adornment is tasteful.
