Kanile’a Concert K-2 Premium.
I’ve mentioned in another thread I sold my prize guitar within a week of discovering the Ukulele. I picked up a Kala CEM after my wife ordered an Amahi Pineapple. Which, I’m quite impressed with on a side note. Anyhow, after playing my Kala (took the week off work) for a week nonstop, I knew what I had stumbled upon. I sold my Seagull Guitar, ordered this Kanile’a and never looked back. I never felt this way about the guitar. Love the portability and comfort of a Concert Uke. Many thanks to the guitar days for accelerating my Ukulele blast off.
The K-2 is magical. From the sweet, soothing balanced tones to the balanced weight distribution. When I was practicing fretting and scales on the Kala I was imagining how much more enjoyable it would be on a Kanile’a neck. I manifested correctly.
I know tones are really what should matter, but the physical beauty and craftsmanship does allow me to dive deeper into each session.
Strumming is smooth and well-rounded. I doubt the volume output is elite. May be better with a silk finish. Wouldn’t be surprised.
All in all I’m extremely pleased. Can’t wait to grow for many years with my new companion.
Also, thanks to the Ukulele Site. Corey and everyone I dealt with were super nice and helpful. I will definitely being doing business with them again. I like their website, transparency and setup process very much. Hope to visit in person soon.
Thanks for checking my NUD. Great community.
P.s. I love my Kala. It’s my workhorse. No disrespect for the brand. I know they make much nicer models that compete with the K’s. I just needed the Hawaiian style. I will be looking for a my mid level Uke later. Maybe a Kala... Maybe a Martin.
