Overview

A tenor ukulele with rich koa tone and stunning turtle inlays.

The Kanile'a Ukulele Honu Natural Series Hawaiian koa tenor ukulele is a stunning, handcrafted instrument that channels the spirit of Hawai'i into every note. Made from select Hawaiian koa, this tenor ukulele produces a warm, balanced tone with exceptional clarity, perfect for expressive strumming or intricate fingerpicking. The natural UV finish enhances the koa's striking grain patterns while preserving the wood's resonance. Featuring three honu (sea turtles) inlaid with Kailua beach sand, this model embodies a deep connection to Hawaiian culture and craftsmanship. Designed for players seeking tonal richness and authentic aesthetics, this ukulele delivers both beauty and performance in equal measure.

Honu Natural Series With Tru-R Bracing Pattern for Enhanced Projection

This ukulele features Kanile'a's Tru-R bracing, an innovative system that optimizes the soundboard's vibration for improved sustain and projection. By precisely engineering the bracing pattern, Kanile'a allows the koa's natural tonal properties to shine, creating a dynamic and responsive playing experience. Whether you're performing solo or accompanying vocals, the Tru-R bracing ensures every note resonates with rich, full-bodied warmth. This design not only enhances the instrument's acoustic properties but also provides the tonal depth and projection that discerning players demand.

Natural UV Finish for Long-Lasting Durability

The Kanile'a tenor ukulele is protected by a single-layer natural UV-cured finish, ensuring superior durability while maintaining the wood's natural voice. This satin-like coating creates a smooth feel that enhances comfort during extended play sessions. Unlike heavy finishes that can dampen resonance, Kanile'a's UV finish lets the koa breathe, preserving its vibrant tonal qualities. The finish also guards against wear and environmental factors, making this ukulele as reliable as it is beautiful. Players can enjoy unmatched durability without compromising the instrument's acoustic performance.

Handcrafted in Hawai'i for Authenticity

Every Kanile'a ukulele is meticulously handcrafted in Hawai'i, reflecting generations of island craftsmanship and a deep respect for Hawaiian music traditions. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this tenor model, from the expertly selected koa to the precision inlays and bracing. With its unique design and cultural significance, this instrument is perfect for musicians seeking an authentic Hawaiian sound and aesthetic. Invest in the Kanile'a tenor ukulele to experience the artistry and aloha that define Kanile'a's legacy.
