In a previous trade, I received this stunning Kanile’a Custom Premium Tenor, made with gorgeous, all solid Master Grade Chocolate Heart Mango. Mahogany neck, 19 fret rosewood fingerboard & rosewood bridge, Graph Tech "NUBONE" nut & saddle, Paua Abalone dot inlay (top and side) with open gear chrome tuners.

I had high hopes for it, but it is very different from my KoAloha Ukes and I prefer their sound. I cannot consciously hold onto this. It must be played.

The condition is pristine. The pictures show different strings that are on it now. I will put the Low G back on it unless the buyer prefers I leave a High G on it.

This is a custom tenor. It is the prettiest Uke I have ever owned and purely from an aesthetics point of view, it is a stunner. Get it and you can play a beautiful sounding instrument and look great doing it.

Now $925 CONUS shipped with hardshell case, instead of the $995 + shipping.

Thanks for Reading.

That sounds fantastic, Lenny.

mango is a great tonewood. this one has such beautiful curl. never seen any other mango kanileas around much.

Another sweet looking uke Lenny! Good luck with the sale!

Thanks for the kind words. I just added this to make a double play. Check out this link.

If I didn't just get the Pono Cedar top from Lenny, I'd be very tempted by this uke, it is beautiful.
I can highly recommend dealing with Lenny. As many others have also commented he is great to deal with and rest assured he'll ship your uke quickly very securely.

When I first put this up, I was basing my information on items I found on the website and in previous posts.

I then went to Kanile'a and talked with them. After a lengthy discussion, I realized that I had a premium custom Master Grade, which if ordered today from Kanile's would be $1290. On eBay, one amazingly similar to it is up for $1300.

Kanile'a told me that there only 3 or 4 of these made.

PM me with any questions.

Thanks for reading.

Man, if I only played tenor, I'd be all over this Lenny. Beautiful uke at a great price. And it's a Kanile'a!

It's appreciated, and I am giving it price reduction. Let's find a new home for this.

Now $925 shipped CONUS.

I am kind of heavy on Tenors ... too bad, this would have been a nice addition. Good luck with it Lenny!
