I'm going to buy a Kamaka soprano and wanted to know which you would buy and why: the standard Kamaka soprano or their Kamaka pineapple? Thanks All!
I went from a standard soprano to a pineapple.
No regrets.
Yummmm, yummmm, pineapple!

I just finished playing my KoAloha LN Soprano and love it.
I see you have a LN Soprano Pineapple KoAloha. How do you like it compared to a standard or LN Soprano? And with your Kamaka Pineapple.
I was kind of thinking the same thing about the focus/clarity thing. Since I haven't played each it was interesting to hear you say what I was thinking. I guess I love the idea of having the pineapple for all the reasons listed by others here but I don't want to sacrifice any focus for more volume or punchiness. Maybe down the road I'll get the pineapple after all just because it looks so cool.I'd go for the pineapple as well, as it's Kamaka's very own invention, so you'd be getting an instrument with great history and tradition (which is true for all Kamakas, of course, but even more so for THE pineapple).
The pineapples I have played (from Kamaka as well as other makers) were all definitely punchy, but left me wondering if they have a little less focus/clarity than the same model in a figure 8 style.
Another vote for the Kamaka Pineapple!!!
Every ukulele player needs a pineapple; it says Hawaii like no other. My choice is a KoAloha longneck pineapple.
