Description

The Kanileʻa K-1 Tenor 5-String ukulele is a premium model that combines traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship with contemporary features, resulting in a versatile and richly resonant instrument.

The body of this ukulele is constructed entirely from solid deluxe-grade Hawaiian Koa for a warm and vibrant tone, along with the characteristic glowing aesthetics of Koa wood. The single-piece mahogany neck supports an ebony fingerboard for smooth playability.

Kanileʻa incorporates several proprietary design elements to enhance sound and performance. The TRU-R bracing system ensures superior tonal clarity and balanced projection. Chrome geared tuners with a 16:1 ration allow for precise tuning adjustment, while the UV gloss body finish and silk-smooth neck finish provide durability and playability.

Other features include a 5-string configuration, combining fluorocarbon and phosphor bronze strings for added tonal variety, and a crown headstock shape adorned with white Mother of Pearl inlays. The package is rounded off with a premium gig case for safe storage and transport.
