This special series celebrates genuine Aboriginal artwork by three talented artists from Santa Teresa, Northern Territory, transforming Kala ukuleles into meaningful expressions of culture, storytelling, and connection to Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea for creating a range of ukuleles featuring Aboriginal Art began in 2008, when Chris Martin, CEO of Martin Guitars, visited Australia and expressed his admiration for Aboriginal artistry. That moment set in motion a collaboration between Greg Cooper of Jacaranda Music and Keringke Arts—a renowned Aboriginal art centre located about 100 km southeast of Alice Springs. Over time, and with support from Mike Upton of Kala, this vision evolved into the Desert StoryLines project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach artist—Margaret Bloomfield, Evelyn Young, and Chantelle Mulladad—has contributed original artwork for the series. Jacaranda Music and Kala Brand Music Co. have entered into formal agreements with Keringke Arts to ensure each artist receives a 6% royalty from every ukulele sold. Kala USA will also contribute royalties once the collection launches internationally in December. Every instrument includes a Desert StoryLines logo gig bag and a swing tag detailing the story and meaning behind the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“This painting is about the country where I live. We go out into the desert to hunt, and to collect bush foods or firewood. Before the night comes, we would find a place to set up camp. As the sun sets, the old people would tell us stories about this country around the fire light.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Chantelle Mulladad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ukulele in the Desert StoryLines series is more than a musical instrument — it’s a piece of living art that honours culture, community, and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Aboriginal artwork by Chantelle Mulladad – “Sunburnt Country” design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the Desert StoryLines collaboration between Kala Brand Music, Jacaranda Music, and Keringke Arts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6% artist royalty on every sale supports the artist directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Desert StoryLines logo gig bag and artwork story swing tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic collectible instrument celebrating Aboriginal culture and storytelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst shipment arriving October 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kala Tenor Ukulele – Desert StoryLines “Sunburnt Country” by Chantelle Mulladad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tenor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laminated Wood with Aboriginal Artwork Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany (or equivalent tonewood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17” (432 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e GraphTech NuBone®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aquila® Super Nylgut®\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Desert StoryLines Logo Gig Bag, Story Swing Tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chantelle Mulladad (Keringke Arts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed in Australia \/ Made by Kala Brand Music Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42190376796222,"sku":"KA-DS-CM-SC-T","price":325.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1339\/6367\/files\/86519347-d702-43ce-978b-60f05e5377ee.jpg?v=1761785450","url":"https:\/\/skymusic.com.au\/products\/kala-tenor-ukulele-with-desert-storylines-logo-bag-sunburnt-country-by-chantelle-mulladad","provider":"Sky Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
