Deluxe Hawaiian Koa for Stunning Tone and Aesthetics

The deluxe Hawaiian koa used in this model isn't just visually striking—it's also a key contributor to the instrument's tonal richness.

Whether you're playing solo or accompanying a group, the koa wood's natural resonance brings warmth and clarity to every note, delivering a truly premium playing experience.

K-1 Core Series With Tru-R bracing for Enhanced Soundboard Resonance

This ukulele features Kanileʻa's precision-engineered Tru-R bracing, a design that optimizes the soundboard's response for maximum tonal clarity and sustain. The bracing allows the koa wood to vibrate freely, producing a balanced and full-bodied sound that carries richness and warmth. From delicate fingerpicking to bold strumming, the Tru-R bracing ensures each note is articulate and vibrant, with exceptional tonal projection. Combined with the koa body, this innovative design elevates your music, making it perfect for both intimate settings and larger stages.

UV-Cured High-Gloss Finish for Durability and Brilliance

The UV-cured high-gloss finish on this tenor ukulele not only enhances its visual appeal but also protects the wood from environmental wear. This ultra-thin coating ensures long-term durability while maintaining the natural resonance and tonal characteristics of the koa wood. The finish brings out the rich grain patterns of the deluxe koa, creating a striking aesthetic that's sure to turn heads. With its protective properties and vibrant appearance, this finish ensures your instrument looks and performs at its best for years to come.
