This custom Kanile’a Super Concert was made in Hawaii in 2011 and comes with a Kanile’a SC hard case that I got from HMS .

This uke is in MINT condition with no dings, scratches or strum marks. The only issue with this uniquely beautiful instrument is some minor finish/surface cracking along a couple Bocote gains in the Back at the bottom of lower bout, see pic next post. It has been like this since I received it. There is internal back center bracing behind the area, so no structural issue, IMO. I am the 2nd owner. The original owner, who built ukes, at Kanile'a valued the uke at over $3,500. Trying to get my collection smaller is the only reason I’m selling this. It’s a great uke, but some ukes have to go this year.

Asking $1400 + shipping.
Here is a recent sound sample with Aquila strings, in standard C tuning.

Here's the area where the only imperfections are located on the lower bout back.

Whoa... :drool:

You have quite a collection, Doc. Seriously. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks Connor. Here's more pics

that sure is pretty, rare and is amazinly priced at a normal k1 model level

Wow! Tons of custom touches on this one: those purflings and bindings are certainly premium features. Thankfully, I've never been a big fan of bocote--if it were Koa or Rosewood, I'd have purchased this on the spot. Indeed, the price of a uke with these specs from the factory would be in the $3000+ range; so for someone who wants this wood combo, it's a steal of a deal. GLWS.
