This is an as new beautiful Kanile'a KSE-T Tenor ukulele with slotted headstock and curly Koa. I bought it a few weeks ago but I've decided to commission another custom and would like to put the funds towards that! It's a great chance to get a £1500 uke with hard case (worth £50) and strap button for an amazing discount.
£1200 plus shipping.
Here's what SUS have to say about it:
Quite honestly, one of the finest hand made instruments we have ever seen depart the sunny shores of Oahu. So, so good.
The solid Koa shimmers, dazzles and excites both the ears and the eyes. Crystal clarity of sound, sustain that goes on and on and a tone to die for. Kanile'a's clever touch and release bracing pattern allows more of the top to ring for longer - let's face it, if you spend this much on an instrument you want to hear it for longer.
The Ebony fixtures and fittings really help the sound - as a hard, dense wood, it soaks up minimal vibrations allowing more sound to ring for longer. And the beautiful UV hardened gloss finish works to harden the wood and quicken up the response, sprinkling the sound with more magic.
All Solid Select Koa Body
Ebony Fret Board and Bridge
Ebony faced slotted headstock
TUSQ Saddle and Nut
Hawaiian beach sand inlays
South American mahogany neck
Bridge Pins
Chrome Geared Kanile'a Tuners
UV Gloss finish
Strung with Chee Maisel high G strings.
Thanks,
Matt
