Kanile'a KSR-T Deluxe Curly Koa Tenor Ukulele w/Armrest #27287

The KSR-T Kanile'a tenor ukulele was the first new model of the modern Kanile'a era. This curly koa tenor ukulele is a fantastic adaption of other popular Kanile'a models, feeling like a custom shop ukulele - its a pro's uke and is the result of years of experimentation from Kanile'a. Indeed, in 2023 as I write this, it is up there with the KPA-T and DK series as the most desired Kanile'a model. We even based our popular Manako series on it back in 2020/2021.

Available with select woods; this one is deluxe with the straightest, quirkiest grain we have seen in years... it gives you the required bubbly, dreamy traditional Hawaiian ukulele sound but has an almost whiskey barrel look to it. It also has the practical appointment of the thin traditional slotted headstock and the very subtle, almost invisible curly koa armrest that makes the instrument just that bit more comfortable. Think of the KSR-T as grown up sibling of a Kanile'a K-1.

If you want a traditional Hawaiian style ukulele with Kanilea's state of the art building techniques and the updated TRU-R touch and release bracing system then this is the model for you. The bracing faithfully maintains the structural stability of the ukulele from within whilst allowing enough breathing room that the top can vibrate freely and offer the player a more vibrant expressive experience.

One subtle change that has been incredibly popular is the change to a satin neck so your ukulele feels played in and aged instantly.

The latest Kanile'a ukuleles also include an excellent quality Kanile'a deluxe gigbag provided by the manufacturer. The photos show the actual instrument you will receive whilst the video shows a different instrument, but you get a good idea of the sound to expect.

Please note; Kanile'a have discontinued KSR, K-2 and K-3 Ukuleles in 2024 so this could be the last KSR-T Ukulele we ever receive.
