Overview

A tenor ukulele with rich sustain and master-grade koa tone.

The Kanileʻa Ukulele D-1 Pro Series Premium Hawaiian Koa tenor ukulele is crafted for players seeking exceptional sound and craftsmanship. With its signature D-shaped soundhole, this model offers enhanced resonance and a dynamic tonal palette, making it a standout in Kanileʻa's lineup since its introduction in 2020. The master-grade Hawaiian koa body provides rich warmth, balanced sustain, and remarkable aesthetics. Complemented by Kanileʻa's innovative Tru-R bracing system, the soundboard responds with complexity and clarity to every nuance of your playing. Handcrafted in Hawaiʻi, this tenor ukulele embodies the island's rich musical heritage while delivering premium features for serious musicians. A UV high-gloss finish ensures protection without compromising tone, maintaining the koa's natural vibrancy and depth.

Master-Grade Hawaiian Koa for Superior Tone

At the heart of this instrument lies master-grade Hawaiian koa, celebrated for its tonal richness and visual appeal. This premium-grade tonewood produces a warm, resonant sound with dynamic responsiveness, making it ideal for intricate playing styles. The koa's natural grain and high-gloss UV finish not only enhance its aesthetics but also safeguard the wood from environmental wear. This combination of beauty and durability ensures the ukulele's exceptional performance remains intact over years of use. Whether delivering subtle fingerpicked melodies or bold strumming, the koa's tonal depth shines through, offering players an unmistakable Hawaiian sound with every note.

D-1 Pro Series With Tru-R Bracing System Enhances Projection

Kanileʻa's proprietary Tru-R bracing system elevates the tonal and structural integrity of the D-1 Pro Series. By carefully distributing the bracing across the soundboard, this design maximizes resonance and projection while enhancing sustain and harmonic complexity. Whether performing solo or accompanying other instruments, the bracing ensures a vibrant and well-balanced tone that fills any space with clarity. The meticulous engineering of Tru-R bracing allows the soundboard to respond to even the lightest touch, delivering nuanced dynamics and expressive versatility for players seeking refined sound quality.

UV High-Gloss Finish Protects Without Compromise

The ultra-thin UV high-gloss finish on this tenor ukulele preserves the natural tonal properties of the koa while offering lasting protection. Unlike thicker finishes, which can dampen resonance, Kanileʻa's UV application maintains the instrument's lively response and tonal complexity. The finish also enhances the koa's natural beauty, showcasing its vibrant grain patterns and rich hues. Built to withstand the rigors of travel and performance, this finish ensures the instrument remains visually stunning and sonically pristine, making it a reliable companion for players who demand premium craftsmanship and lasting durability.
