USED Kanile'a 2015 Platinum Solid Koa Tenor Ukulele in hard case

One lucky Southern Ukulele Store customer is going to be very happy to give this used koa tenor ukulele a new home. 2015 was the year that Kanile'a launched their flagship Platinum ukulele models, which represent the pinnacle of their build and design capabilities.

This Kanile'a ukulele was a super tenor, with a standard tenor scale length, but with a wider bottom bout to give more bass response and sustain, and colour the sound a little bit darker and more interesting.

It features stunning solid curly ka all round, with Kanile'a's UV natural finish, which is a polyester UV hardened satin finish with no grain filler used before being applied. This results in a really lovely earthy, natural and warm sounding instrument.

There is a small patch of the top near the soundhole which is marginally glossier than the surrounding area owing to being brushed with finger tips, one very small dink on the horn of the cutaway, and some very small pockmarks in the ebony at the dusty end of the fretboard - but essentially this uke is in fabulous condition for one which is 7 years old. Easily a 8.5/10 cosmetically. 

This stunning instrument takes a low G beautifully well, as it brings all those lovely bass frequencies lurking in that bottom bout to life. It is fitted with a new Fremont squeakless low G string, but could be fitted with a high G if preferred.

A quirk of these early super tenor models was that they were supplied in baritone hard cases. It fits in the case nicely, but it is obviously not a fitted case. Plenty of room for cleaning cloths and other stuff!
