The Kanilea K-1 Super Tenor 19" Natural is a premium ukulele designed for exceptional tonal richness and top-tier craftsmanship. Reflecting traditional Hawaiian design, this model stands out due to its solid Select Grade Hawaiian Koa construction on the body—comprising the top, back, and sides. This attention to material results in warm, resonant sound qualities.
The neck is made from solid mahogany, combined with an ebony fingerboard and bridge for durability and smooth playability. An UV-Cured Natural finish showcases the unique koa grain patterns while enhancing resonance. Kanilea's proprietary TRU-R Bracing System optimizes tonal balance alongside the radiused back for increased projection.
Additional features include Kanileʻa open-geared chrome tuners for precise tuning stability and Worth Fluorocarbon x GHS Phosphor Bronze Low-G strings for a balanced tone. The nut and saddle are crafted from White NuBone to ensure longevity and tonal consistency.
Players will appreciate the attention to detail, including the white mother-of-pearl markers and Kanileʻa Crown Headstock design. The instrument comes with an Oha gig case for protection during travel or storage.
Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, this super tenor ukulele offers impeccable craftsmanship and sound that reflect the tradition of Hawaiian ukulele making.
