Nice review. Kala have taken the original in a different direction to the model I sold them - great interpretation. It is easier to bind this model and Kala have my full bling design which I hope they will do one day.

[paul_mitchener_ukulele]

Thanks - I was looking forward to this review. And I’m now very tempted. A Revelator for the people!

[marj]

You were so right about the gloss -- I think that's the prettiest mango I have ever seen!

[WysteriaGuitar]

Wanted a revelator but they were out of my price range - this one may now fit the bill! Thanks for reviewing it!

[richardsnow]

This is certainly on the wanted list. Love the looks and sound. Thanks Barry

I went on Kala’s website here in the US and they have this version of the Revelator Night Owl listed as “coming soon” and the price is $499 USD. I signed up on their site to be informed as to when they’ll be available. I want one! Thank you for the review. 😃

[SURFNRZ]

Excellent review Barry!!! I can’t wait to try one of these!

[marknaze]

Thanks again for another great review. I’ve had a bad Kala experience that I need to get past. Maybe someday I’ll get past it. For now, I’ll enjoy your video. Thanks!

Great balanced review Baz, was waiting, like a lot of players, for this one. Kala have achieved great things of late for sure. I love the looks and sounds, for my playing level I could not justify The Revelator Nautilus, but the Night Owl is very appealing. Thanks for the run through and you have a great week.

[sadie]

Very nice looking uke - I really love the mango top and gloss finish! Not a fan of the shape and size of the sound hole but that’s personal preference. Nice to see an affordable uke with such a high rating.

[cccukeclass]

Nice review thanks! The gloss does give it a slightly more compressed sound to my ears for sure! ( I wrote this literally seconds before you said the same thing :)

[JerryUkulele-et]

Mine arrived yesterday, after a four-month wait. It's beautiful! Naturally, it sounds great. Thanks for forcing me to buy another great ukulele. 😋

[chuckvt]

I learned on a Kala way back when, and over the years they really lost their way. So happy to see them starting to innovate and improve the quality of their products! Great looking, great price and and it sounds great! Thanks, Baz!

[threeleafshamrock]

Sounds great and a bit bright for a tenner, to my ear. Looks really expensive, which makes the price seem like a bit of a bargain. Wide nutt, no broom handle neck... someone at Kala has traded their Ford Cortina for a DeLorean and heading back to the future. I love it!
Thanks Baz, great review as per.
Stay safe mate 👍🏼

Very nice uke. Would like to see a baritone version with a larger/thicker body, zero fret, matching mango laminate on the headstock, and a similar price point.

[deniseforbes]

Thanks Barry. I’ve been waiting to see this Night Owl and compare to the Nautilus. Looks like a great value for the money. I almost bought a Revalator in the spring, but wanted to see this first before choosing. You have been super helpful in that endeavor. Likely to get the Revelator in baritone. This is a great looking and sounding ukulele.

[drpkmurphy]

I agree I love the looks of this one. I like the sound… very nice with good volume but yes I agree the sound is a little boxy. Thanks for another enjoyable review. Hope things are going well for you. …DOC

[JulieBrown-ey]

Love the look-- better to me than the American version. Sounds really good too. Definitely a winner.
Was wondering if you might consider reviewing one of TUS/Hawaiian Music Company new Oli models. From the sound samples on their site they look and sound great.

[hilltop]

I think if you are wanting the high end version of this you should probably get one within the next couple of years.. This version is close enough that I don't see the expensive version continuing very long. The high end, "uke that looks like a guitar" demographic, how many of those can there be?

[Marcin_Kaszubowski]

Really beautiful review Barry. Gloss on this one looks lovely. The difference in sound hole position and size is visible. So the American revelator you revied 10 month ago I think has richer sound, more sustainable, but as well it could be difference of strings used in Chinese and American version. I think worth brown were used on American and g string was more rounded? Anyway I went back to American version footage and I think sounded better, but hey there is a price difference and material, finish and so on. You know I have myself kala ka-15t tenor pacific walnut as I mentioned to you some time ago and it is entry level, well a nice entry level for 140£ bought in Southampton. So ka 15t has that feeling of entry cheap uke, but I love it. Maybe a nut side G to A string is too close, but it could be me and my playing experience. From my amateur point o view, this one sound very nice for the price. The body is pretty same as enya nova u pro etc
