USED Kanile'a 'Manako' Solid Hawaiian Curly Mango Concert Ukulele w/Armrest #24999

The Kanile'a manako concert ukulele was voted 2nd in our top 10 ukuleles of 2020. The Manako series is now discontinued. So, this used model could be your last chance to own the stunning Kanile'a manako Hawaiian curly mango concert ukulele. 

Please note that all used ukuleles are only for sale to UK based customers. 

The Kanile'a Manako series (manako means mango in Hawaiian) was the long awaited second collaboration between Kanile'a and the Southern Ukulele Store. It takes influence from Kanile'a's most popular premium models the KSR-T, KCS-C and KCS-B but switches the wood combinations from koa to high grade figured mango.

It has a slotted headstock with slimline Gotoh stealth tuners. This ukulele has a specially designed mango armrest and several unique cosmetic details including side facing mango fret markers and a hand drawn manako inlay.

The concert ukulele features the popular lightweight curvy crown slotted headstock and stealth tuners with a special faded red mango inspired 'manako' script inlay at the 12th fret.

What does it sound like?

It sounds creamy and thick but highly refined too. It doesn't have the signature bite of a spruce top or the scooped out mid range of koa or acacia but 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 'man - it really has lived up to our expectations and then some.

Pictures show actual instrument. This one is only around a year old, and was traded in against an instrument of a lifetime. It has a few very tiny marks to the finish on the top which you would have to spend time under bright lights looking for, so I would call it an easy 9.5/10 condition. The back, sides, neck and headstock are all very clean indeed. It sounds absolutely wonderful - played enough to really open up with impressive projection, but cared for enough to pass for nearly new.
