I'll start by saying I couldn't resist this ukulele. I saw it on HMS website after it was just published and immediately knew I had to have it. I've been fortunate to have some very nice ukes in the past. Unfortunately I've had to change from tenor scale to concert scale because of arthritic joint pain and the slightly smaller concert scale really helps. So I'm in transition of replacing my tenor scale instruments with concert scaled ukuleles.
I've been a Martin fan for ages and I do have a Concert Style 3K Custom on order, but the look of Kanile'a have always intrigued me while hearing them left me undecided because most are plugged in when recorded. Well, I decided to see what all the fuss was about and ordered a K-1 Concert from HMS in January. All I can say is I love the feel, playability and sound of Kanile'a. It's what made me feel comfortable purchasing this K-3. Anyway, I should have it in a couple more weeks.
