Mike, you're a fortunate man to live where you do, doing what you do. Thanks for the behind-the-scenes looks. I really love it that some of the big names of the ukulele world are essentially small family businesses.Just happened to be passing Kanileas factory...
I've been thinking about an Islander solid tenor for a while. They look great (maybe not the logo..) and now I see that they get checked out individually before leaving home... where's the catch?
It's for these very reasons I just placed an order for an MT-4 with HMS. If I'm not mistaken, you helped train Joel, the HMS setup guy? Since I'm already in the Kanile'a family with a K-1, I decided to pick this up for my low G Tenor.No catch Its just that Joe and Kristin really care when it has their name attached to it. like i did with setup of cheaper ukes they take care to see that you get a good quality price for value of their import line...I think the islander laminate will be the new go to ukulele in the kala ka t lanikai lu21t range of pricepoint.
