KoAloha DIY build your own ukulele kit
I was in a very nice ukulele store over the weekend and they had a build-your-own ukulele kit for sale made by KoAloha. I was told that assembly was fool proof. They had a sample that one of the guys in the store put together. It sounded and felt pretty great. The kit was priced at $299.
Has anybody seen these or put one together? I'm curious about your experience with assembly and if you were pleased with the results. Also wondering how you chose to finish it. The one I saw was assembled by a pro, but he passed it along to a friend to do the finish so he couldn't tell me how it was stained or sealed.
The kit comes in a sturdy, green corrugated cardboard box. All hardware is included and the pieces (pre-assembled body, neck, fingerboard, bridge) are unfinished.
Sound familiar?
CORRECTION: Thank you to those who responded with the correct brand. The kit is made by KoAloha, NOT Kanile'a as I remembered.
