Overview

A tenor ukulele with rich Hawaiian tone and effortless playability.

The Kanile'a Ukulele K-1 Natural Series Hawaiian Koa tenor ukulele exemplifies the rich heritage of Hawaiian craftsmanship, delivering a resonant and full-bodied tone that captures the spirit of the islands. Built from select Hawaiian koa, this tenor ukulele offers a naturally warm and balanced sound, making it a standout instrument for both seasoned players and those exploring the joy of ʻukulele music. The natural finish highlights the stunning grain of the koa wood while ensuring its tonal richness is fully realized. With its exceptional build quality and tonal depth, the K-1 Natural Series is a true testament to Kanileʻa's dedication to creating premium instruments. Every note resonates with clarity and warmth, making it an ideal choice for performers seeking a dynamic, expressive playing experience.

Tru-R Bracing Enhances Tonal Projection

Kanileʻa's innovative Tru-R Bracing system is a defining feature of this tenor ukulele, meticulously engineered to optimize soundboard vibrations. This precision bracing pattern enhances both sustain and projection, allowing the koa wood's tonal characteristics to shine. Players will appreciate the dynamic response, as this ukulele effortlessly transitions from soft fingerpicking to energetic strumming. By unlocking the true potential of its premium materials, the Tru-R Bracing ensures an expressive and vibrant tonal palette, making every performance unforgettable. Whether on stage or in a studio setting, this thoughtful design ensures the instrument delivers unmatched resonance and clarity.

Natural UV Finish Protects and Preserves

The K-1 Natural Series features Kanileʻa's signature UV-cured finish, a single-layer protective coating that strikes the perfect balance between durability and resonance. This finish not only enhances the natural beauty of the Hawaiian koa but also preserves its acoustic properties by allowing the wood to breathe. The satin-like feel of the finish provides a comfortable playing experience, while its protective properties ensure the ukulele maintains its visual and tonal integrity over time. This thoughtful design element ensures that the instrument remains a reliable and cherished companion for years of music-making.
