USED Kanile'a KSR-T Deluxe Curly Koa Tenor Ukulele w/Armrest #20663

Please note this second hand Kanile'a tenor ukulele is available for purchse by UK customers only.

This used model is a 2019 (first year) KSR-T. One of the few to leave Hawaii with the Kanile'a ABS hard case which was discontinued after just a couple of hundred units. The Uke is a rare gem from a great time in recent Ukulele history and in great condition with just a few signs of play in the top. They are defintely there but too tricky to capture in photos amongst the grain. I'm giving this one an 8.5/10... possibly a 9. Shipped in its original and Kanile'a hard case this uke is a peach of a Tenor.

This curly koa tenor ukulele is a fantastic adaption of other popular Kanile'a models.

Available with either premium or deluxe solid curly koa top, back and sides; this tenor uke is deluxe model with almost map like detail in the wood figuring gives you the required bubbly, dreamy traditional Hawaiian ukulele sound.

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 Kanile'a'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.

We love you Kanile'a, well done for continuing to innovate year on year!
