This Kanile`a pays homage to the beautiful ocean that surrounds our island home of Hawai`i. For those who love Hawai`i, the water and our beautiful blue planet, this instrument is for you. Three playful honu (turtles) are captured in the colors of the sea found in New Zealand paua abalone. Watch them swim through the beautiful curl of Deluxe Hawaiian koa. Available in all sizes. Hard shell canvas case with zipper and velcro closure included.
Gold Kanile`a Open Geared tuners w/ Black buttonsEach instrument we build, with the exception of an eight string, may be equipped with a “G” fourth course (196Hz) fixed with a 0.029″ Phosphor Bronze wire-wrapped nylon-core string for no extra charge. The woven “low G-string” is tuned an octave lower, which gives a richer sound and opens a wider picking range.
Note: These are photos of a previously built `ukulele. Please keep in mind that this is a sample. In the world of wood products the finished instrument may vary from one piece to another and you will not find two pieces the same. These photos give you an idea of what the accessories look like as well as the shape and size. The woods will always vary in grain, curl and color.
