Now featuring a radiused fingerboard! A radiused fingerboard is an arched fingerboard which you will find on most electric and modern acoustic guitars. This arch fits the fold of your hand better and makes it easier for both your left and right hand to play the banjo.
Curly maple wood, -06- tone ring, and flower inlays are the other key elements of the Deering Maple Blossom banjo. Maple Blossom is made from eastern violin grade curly maple, stained with a dark walnut stain, and adorned with flower mother of pearl inlays. When this individually selected wood is built into a banjo with the genuine Deering -06-bronze tone ring, 3-ply violin grade maple rim, and one piece zinc flange, the result is a banjo that is so bright, crisp and clear that every note pops out of this banjo with precision and power.
The Deering -06- tone ring produces a beautiful, balanced overtone spectrum. Its weight is ideal for most styles played on the banjo. A softer touch will provide you with as much sustain as you ever want, a sharper attack will produce a distinct pop and accurate note separation. You will notice no dead spots over the entire fingerboard. The beautiful highs and powerful well rounded bass is the result of intense study of alloys and shapes which resulted in the new -06- tone ring you hear in the great tone of the Maple Blossom banjo today.

We are excited to announce the newest addition to our Learn To Play series—the Mandy Harvey Learn To Play Signature Series Tenor Ukulele!
Mandy is a singer, songwriter, author, and inspirational speaker who lost her hearing at the age of 19. She came to national attention on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent. Her inspiring performances have been viewed millions of times and won the coveted “Golden Buzzer” from Simon Cowell.
This uke comes with everything a beginner needs to start playing songs right away, including Mandy’s most popular songs, accessible via the Kala App, free online lessons, or the included booklet.
The Mandy Harvey Learn To Play Signature Series Tenor Ukulele is made of Satin Mahogany and includes white binding and original artwork reminiscent of 1800s Swiss folk art. The delicate vine pattern with birds and flowers was created by Mandy’s sister, making this a very personal, one-of-a-kind piece of art.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have people in my life that have continually encouraged me to try—to push past self-doubt and persist. My grandmother was one of those people. She cultivated a desire in me to do my best through encouragement and her confidence in what I could achieve. The artwork on my Signature Series Tenor Ukulele was inspired by my grandmother and the beautiful gardens she always kept. It’s an image of growth and persistence and symbolic of what we can achieve if we always remember to ‘Try.’”

Building on the success of the 2023 release of The Revelator™ Nautilus Ukulele, Kala Brand Music Co. expands on this revelation of creative ukulele design and aesthetic. The Revelator Night Owl Tenor Ukulele by Kala pays homage to U.K. Luthier Pete Howlett with this interpretation of his original design. An “Acoustic Anomaly” — this slim line electro-acoustic ukulele has all of the acoustic tone and volume of a full body ukulele. This instrument is as inspiring to view as it is to play.
The Revelator is created in a way that maximizes the resonance and vibration of the ukulele top. The slim design and minimal top bracing allows the energy and power of the strings to work in concert with the top — producing a clear and articulate tone with surprising volume and impressive sustain — while the Night Owl sound hole is positioned nearest the player’s ears giving instant tonal response. A Solid Acacia top gives a full-bodied, pronounced sound and a rich, varied color. The neck is machined to perfection and flows into the body with a seamless transition that allows the player access to its generous 22 frets; and the beveled comfort body edges are easy on the strumming and picking arm. Each Revelator® Night Owl comes with a Deluxe Padded Logo Gig Bag.
