The Kanilea K-1 Concert Natural SN. 29574 combines exceptional craftsmanship with modern design features, rooted in traditional Hawaiian luthiery. It is constructed entirely from solid Hawaiian Koa for its body, which is prized for its resonant tonal qualities and stunning natural grain patterns. The uke's single-piece mahogany neck provides stability and is aligned with an ebony fingerboard for a smooth playing experience.
This instrument is equipped with Kanilea-designed chrome open-geared tuners with a 16:1 gear ratio for precise and reliable tuning. The use of the exclusive TRU-R Bracing System enhances its tonal clarity by promoting balance and resonance. The white Mother of Pearl inlays adorn the fretboard and headstock, adding a touch of elegance to its design.
Finished with a UV-cured gloss on the body and a silky-smooth neck treatment, the K-1 Concert provides excellent playability and visual appeal. Additional premium features include Worth Fluorocarbon High-G strings, an ebony bridge, and white NuBone nut and saddle. It comes with a high-quality Oha gig case for protection and transport. Perfect for musicians valuing tradition, tonal richness, and superior build quality.
