Kanile'a DK-ST Premium Hawaiian Koa Super Tenor Ukulele (D-Series) #24941

The new Kanile'a D-series of ukuleles is (so far!) the most exciting new production line to be announced in 2021. They're building on the foundations of last year's platinum model the offset D shape soundhole and side port create a more detailed and textured tone for the player than any other Kanile'a ukulele before.

Under the top is a special bracing pattern designed by Joe and Ka'hiau Souza that channels the sound to resonate upwards towards the players ear. It's actually fascinating covering up the individual soundholes to see just what a massive difference each one makes to the overall sound. You wouldn't turn your speakers away from you when listening to music so why would you turn your soundhole outwards if you didn't need to?

This Kanile'a super tenor ukulele has just bundles of depth and extra character and although the body shape won't suit some players; those that want the ultimate experience of the side soundholes will be blown away by the sound the bigger body produces.

This initial batch features the set of premium models. The DK-ST is premium Hawaiian koa on the top, back and sides. The traditional slimline slotted headstock adds some elegance to the overall look of the ukulele whilst also putting a bit more torque on the strings as they come through the nut. This gives the tenor ukulele a touch more responsiveness and with the offset soundhole you can really notice each individual nuance that bit more.

The black Gotoh stealth tuners are a fan favourite with Kanile'a players and the stunning traditional look of the wood and forward thinking nature of the body design make for an heirloom quality ukulele. This super tenor ukulele has a sweet but confident and direct - we can't get enough!
