Kanile'a K-1 T Tenor Ukulele Deluxe Hawaiian Koa Gloss #28469

Kanile'a make some of the finest ukuleles on the sunny island of Oahu. Their instruments have incredible finishes, really second to none, and they possess incredible poise, both physically and sonically.

This Kanile'a K1 tenor ukulele feels so light in the hand, thanks to very clever bracing and beautifully refined, high quality thin wood being used. They're put together by master craftsmen, who love what they do, and this shows.

Everything on the bodies is designed to maximise vibrations - the touch and release bracing allows the top to ring for longer, the internal binding top the top and back is as minimal as possible without compromising structural integrity, and the wood is very carefully selected for the correct grain properties which allows the soundwaves to be created.

Modern Kanile'a K-1 models come with an updated ebony headstock faceplate and white pearl inlays as well as the new improved TRU-R bracing system which is stiffer and lighter than before. From 2024, Kanile'a have also introduced the TRU Reduction technology to all instruments making them more lightweight and making the tops vibrate more freely from new.

Pictures show actual instrument. Video shows a different ukulele, but you will get a good idea of the sound to expect.
