CASA OPINION
The Taro Patch is not like other 8-string ukuleles. Whilst many models feature doubled strings an octave apart, the Taro Patch pays homage to a very traditional style of Hawaiian ukulele and opts for a unison tuning. A distinctive feature that makes all the difference: the paired strings vibrate together, giving the instrument a full, surprisingly spacious sound, with that delightful sensation of built-in natural chorus. With its solid mahogany body, the Taro Patch delivers a warm, enveloping, round and woody tone that is deeply organic. Despite its 8-string construction, the Taro Patch retains a lightness and perfect balance, thanks in particular to the Graph Tech Ratio tuners – the lightest on the market – and a semi-gloss open-pore finish that allows the natural grain of the mahogany to breathe more freely, whilst avoiding adding weight to the instrument. A point of pride: the Taro Patch is fitted with French Savarez strings. Kala now places its trust firmly in Savarez (at last!) for its new generations of ukuleles, such as the Waterfall series. Its vintage-inspired inlays on the top and fingerboard are magnificent, and special mention must go to the taro plant on the headstock, crafted from iridescent mother-of-pearl with pink highlights. It’s an instrument that strikes a lovely balance between Hawaiian tradition and modern design
