Kanile'a KPA-T Solid Premium Hawaiian Koa Tenor Ukulele Gloss in Gigbag #28038

What a stunner this KPA-T Kanile'a Tenor ukulele is! This uke features premium curly koa, and boy does it show! Kanile'a like to call the holographical detailing to the wood 'drama' and this uke made its way to SUS after I begged our friend at Kanile'a to let me know when something special had come through production... As often happens, Kaimana at Kanile'a contacted us in the middle of the night UK time with a photo of this uke as it came off the production line. We love a bit of drama! It just dazzles. Not only is this Tenor ukulele a feast for the eyes, this one is an absolute treat for the ears as well.

With crystal clarity at all times, it has that sparkling quality to the sound that the really good koa always has, sustains for days, and and expressive range that goes from whisper to thump with never a shade of muddiness.

Let's also talk about that beautiful thick abalone rosette that just swims and shimmers in the light. The abalone Kanile'a inlay in the headstock is also easily up there with the very best cosmetic details ever featured on an instrument!
