After selling my Kala yesterday (thanks Blues Drive), I went to Island Bazaar in the OC and bought my Kanilea. I actually was looking to get a K1 but Shirley had a K2 tenor there that I simply couldn't say no to. I love it to death - though I'm still not crazy about Aquila strings and I plan to get some Worth or D'addario for it.
At first, I was turned off by the gold gears but in retrospect, I wanted a really traditional koa Hawaiian ukulele, and I figured that I could consider the gold as an homage to all the gold jewelry in the islands (kuuipo rings and flip flop pendants, etc.).
So far this is the first picture I took...not the best, but until I have time to take some better ones...
