Kanile'a Manako Solid Hawaiian Curly Mango Tenor Ukulele w/Armrest #25823 - last batch

We put our hearts and souls into this collaboration with Kanile'a to create the 'manako' solid Hawaiian curly mango tenor ukulele with an armrest.

But, this is one of the last batch of Manako ukes to be made. Finding enough high quality mango to complete the production runs was too challenging. So, grab one while you can.

The manako range takes influence from Kanile'a most popular premium models. The tenor in particular takes a lot of inspiration from the KSR-T but switches the wood combinations from koa to high grade figured mango.

This ukulele features a traditional flat top slimline slotted headstock with those tiny almost adorable Gotoh stealth tuners, a specially designed mango armrest and several unique cosmetic details such as side facing mango fret markers and a handdrawn manako inlay in faded yellow epoxy.

What does it sound like?

Well, please do give our video on the manako range a listen with some headphones in and judge it for yourself... I'd say it sounds creamy and thick but highly refined too. It doesn't have the signature bite of a spruce top or the earthiness of koa or acacia.

Instead it has individual clarity between each note and an almost brandy like smoothness when you listen to chords ring out... Yes, we designed it but wow - it really has lived up to our expectations and then some.
