Kanile'a Islander MT-4EQ Electro Acoustic Tenor Mahogany Ukulele

Special Price £229.00 £190.83 Regular Price £249.00

Made in China, these are the intermediate level Kanile'a tenor ukuleles. Made to the same exacting standards as the expensive Hawaiian koa models, these Islanders have a unique charm all of their own. The laminate Mahogany is thin, stiff and resonant giving a very good frequency response, lovely full bass combined with a very balanced treble, and plenty of volume. And plugged in, the Fishman preamp allows quiet tuning, and also cut and boost of frequencies to ensure your sound is just so.

One of the most attractive things about this model is the slightly wider than normal fretboard, which at 1.5 inches or 38mm at the nut makes getting your fingers into the right shapes an absolute doddle. Combine that width with a very slinky neck profile and you have a very easy to play instrument.

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