Kanile'a Islander MOS-4 Soprano Ukulele Laminate Mango WIDE NUT

Kanile'a have well and truly joined the mango movement in 2019 with the introduction of a new laminate mango range of Islander Ukuleles. This lovely looking and practical Soprano bridges the gap between vintage specification and the modern players needs perfectly by keeping the instrument at a Soprano scale but extending the nut width to the wider and much sought after 38mm. The Uke sounds great, looks the part and more than holds it own against the other Sopranos out there at this price.

We do our best to capture major issues but you may find some small imperfections on close inspection that cannot be avoided.
