Overview

A tenor ukulele with rich koa tone and pro-level projection.

The Kanile'a K-1 Pro Series Premium Hawaiian Koa tenor ukulele represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, offering exceptional tonal richness and a visually stunning design. Built from premium-grade Hawaiian koa, this ukulele delivers a warm, resonant, and articulate sound that reflects the natural beauty of the islands. Its innovative Tru-R Bracing system enhances projection and sustain, allowing the koa's natural vibrational qualities to shine through with dynamic expressiveness. A UV-cured high-gloss finish not only highlights the breathtaking figuring of the koa wood but also ensures durability while preserving sonic integrity. Handcrafted in Hawai'i, this instrument is an exquisite blend of tradition and innovation, designed for players who demand unparalleled quality and tone.

K-1 Pro Series With Tru-R Bracing for Superior Projection

Kanile'a's Tru-R Bracing system sets this model apart by maximizing the tonal potential of its premium koa body. This advanced bracing design optimizes the wood's natural resonance, delivering enhanced sustain and clarity with every note. By allowing the koa to vibrate freely, the bracing adds richness and depth to your playing, making the ukulele responsive to subtle dynamics and powerful strumming alike. Whether you're exploring intricate fingerpicking or bold rhythms, Tru-R Bracing ensures the sound remains full and expressive. This innovative feature elevates the K-1 Pro Series to a level of tonal sophistication that few instruments can achieve.

High-Gloss UV Finish for Beauty and Durability

The K-1 Pro Series ukulele features a high-gloss UV-cured finish that accentuates the koa's natural figuring while offering superior protection. This ultra-thin coating is meticulously applied to preserve the wood's tonal integrity, ensuring that the instrument resonates freely without compromise. The finish enhances the visual appeal of the premium koa, allowing its rich grain and varied hues to take center stage. Additionally, the durability of the UV finish safeguards the instrument from wear, making it a reliable companion for both professional performances and casual play. With this thoughtful detail, the K-1 Pro Series combines elegance with practicality.
