New Kanilea Custom Curly Walnut Concert Uke

shrink9 · Aug 26, 2010

Ok, I know, I've got it bad--UAS, that is!!

Here are pics of my newest acquisition: a Kanilea Custom Curly Walnut Concert Uke. The pics are not exaggeration--this wood is f--king GORGEOUS! I have never seen anything like it. What's more, the sound of this uke is amazing.

All I can say is, if this instrument is typical of Kanilea, you all will want one!

You tease us with such tiny photos! Looks pretty awesome, but I want to see it bigger!

Hi, Lori,

I am just learning how to upload here. I'll try again.

Lexxy · Aug 26, 2010

THAT IS.. :O How much did it cost you?

That's a friggin gorgeous instrument!! Congrats!

Amazing. I am drooling, but that may also be due to the steak and guinnes pie

That 'ukulele looks yummy like chocolate! :drool:

That's what I like about Joe Souza, he's not afraid to try something different.

That is beautiful! I'm interested to hear how the walnut sounds. Any chance of a sound clip?

Very nice! Joe and his crew make some beautiful looking and sweet sounding ukuleles!

OMG I thought my new kala koa looked awesome, I'm jealous, but then I'll bet yours cost a [few] more bens than mine. maybe if I can hipnotize my wife....

That is some really cool looking walnut. Enjoy!

I am going to work on recording a mp3 file so you all can hear it. I am surprised that it sounds as good as any of my koa ukes (except perhaps the Coolau CE-2)

That woodgrain looks fantastic. How does it compare to your other ukes? There must be a story behind this uke. Did you have them make it custom for you, and what made you choose walnut?

Actually, Lori, I purchased it on ebay. It is a custom model so I don't know whether it was made for someone or not. It arrived brand new with all of the tags, etc. and sent from the maker. I am totally in love with this instrument. I have taken it to work with me every day since I got it. Everyone I show it to is amazed with the walnut appearance. I don't have any uke players at work so I can't get a more objective perspective on the tone; however, I hope to record something and post it on here by the end of the weekend.

How much did it cost you, shrink? If you dont mind me interrogating you

Congrats!

Whew! And I thought my Kanile'a concert was a beauty! Still is, of course, but this grain and coloring are unique to my eye. Looking forward to your sound sample.

Coconut Willie · Aug 27, 2010
