The Kanileʻa K-1 Tenor Natural SN. 29476 is designed for players who seek a blend of traditional Hawaiian craftsmanship and modern enhancements. Crafted from solid select-grade Hawaiian Koa for the top, back, and sides, this tenor ukulele offers a visually striking appearance paired with a rich, resonant tone.
The single-piece solid mahogany neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard, ensuring long-lasting durability and a comfortable playing experience. The instrument also features a UV-cured gloss on the body for a polished look, complemented by a smooth neck finish for easy handling.
Key design elements include the TRU-R Bracing System, which enhances tonal clarity, and a radiused back that improves sound projection. The chrome open-geared tuners with a 16:1 ratio allow precise tuning adjustments, supported by Worth Fluorocarbon High-G strings for clean, bright tones.
The ukulele also includes white NuBone nut and saddle components for enhanced sustain, while white Mother of Pearl inlays add a refined touch to the headstock and fingerboard. This model comes with a premium gig case for transportation and storage.
