Besides Kanilea & Islander, are there any other soprano ukuleles with a 1.5 inch nut? Do KoAloha sopranos have the 1 7/16 nut like their concert ukuleles?
Thanks

I've seen that list before. Unfortunately it's not 100% accurate. KoAloha & Kala Elite sopranos are not 1.5 as listed.

Do they have 1.5 in a soprano? The reason I’m curious is that I’ve been playing my Islander soprano a lot lately & wondering about options in solid wood/higher end ukuleles with wider nuts.Kala Elite makes both standard width and 1.5".

All of the Kala Elite sopranos I’ve seen on Reverb, Mim, Elderly, etc have had 1.375 nuts. I’ll have to check for SN in their serial numbers. Aaron at HMS did tell me once that Kala Elites have beefier necks. I’ll also check out Pohaku & Kepasa but I fear they may be out of my price range.Not to highjack Eddie, but I checked on this with Kala and HMS before.
Elites are normally 1.5 inch wide necks but they can also be ordered with the standard 1 3/8 inch neck designated as “slim neck” with SN in the model number. I was also told that the neck is a little thinner too for the SNs.
Note too though that the sopranos have 12 frets to the body and no more(short fretboard).
