We have never seen an unhappy ukulele player…its a fact! Playing the ukulele is just about the most fun you can have standing up or sitting down!
The people at Kala are always looking for new ways to have fun with and enjoy the uke and we believe that with this model they have taken the ukulele to new heights – or maybe that should read new depths because this is the amazingly versatile and water-resistant Waterman Ukulele! If you’ve ever wanted to play your ukulele in the bath, the spa, the hot tub, the pool, in your kayak or canoe – well now you can!
The Waterman is remarkably versatile and designed as an tribute to the French Maccaferri ukuleles and guitars built in France in the 1950s. At the time Maccaferri’s instruments were considered ultra-modern state-of-the-art musical instruments made from space age plastics and were played by some high profile musicians – they were anything but toys!
So too, the Waterman Ukulele is a real, fine quality musical instrument.
The technology utilised to build these amazing ukuleles has many advantages. For example, the fretboard and frets are moulded as one. The result is that the intonation is perfect, there are no sharp fret ends and the low maintenance frets never need polishing! The tone is consistent and actually better than you might expect – even our staff have bought them! This is because the plastic is highly stable and resonanant unlike cheap wooden ukuleles of dubious origins.
Initially designed to accompany any outdoor adventure, the Waterman is perfect for the classroom thanks to its durable construction and ease of cleaning! The water-resistant design means that splashes of water won’t damage it either!
If you are planning to become the Ukulele world’s Jacques Cousteau, we do advise wiping the tuners dry after surfacing!
