Let me first say that this has been my #1 dream uke going back to 2013 when I first started. I used to watch Kanile'a uke videos on youtube for hours just day dreaming about one day owning one. Without getting into too much detail, I had to sell my KoAloha earlier in the year after my family lost our house and we were a bit homeless for a few months. My KoAloha had such an amazing story for me behind it and I loved it so much and it hurts that I had to let it go, but things happen.
Anyways, fast forward a bit, I got a new job that pays better than what I was making at my old one and I am thankful that I was finally able to get my own place and my dream uke to go with it. The Ukulele Site was very responsive and I emailed them a day before they got a handful of new Kanilea's since I didn't exactly love the 2 tenors they had available. I was looking for a darker wood grain than the ones they had... but I fell in love with this one -
I ditched the Aquilas and put some Worth Clears on it and it sounds amazing! I'll put a sound sample up later if I have time.
It's been a tough 12 months and this is the icing on the cake for me. As lame as this sounds, when I clicked the order button on HMS, I just felt a big rush of relief and happiness.
