Kala KA-FMT
I recently upgraded my uke to a Kala Spalted Flame Maple Tenor. What a fantastic uke! Not only does it look good it sounds great (and loud) as well. I get lots of comments on its appearance and how well it plays. It comes standard with Aquila strings and I got mine from Chris Carr at 1800instruments.com who did a good deal on it because of my membership with the Adelaide Ukulele Appreciation Society (http://auas.wordpress.com/). This Kala normally retails for $385AUS so it's not especially cheap. It's made in China and the workmanship is faultless.
