  1. A high-quality ukulele with a rich and beautiful sound 0 people found this helpful

    I purchased my K1-C gloss about a month ago and have been playing it daily ever since. This is a professional grade ukulele in every aspect. The sound is warm, almost harp-like, with really great resonance and sustain. I know most players today are leaning toward the tenor size, but you can save a couple of dollars by considering a Kanile'a concert instead. The scale is actually a half inch longer than standard concerts at 15.5 inches, which gives you enough room to comfortably play most chords up to about the 9th fret. Kanile'a concerts are every bit as loud as their tenors; I have strummed both side-by-side, and there is no difference in volume, only tone--the tenor has slightly crisper highs and deeper lows. To me, though, the concert sounds more traditional, with better mid-range. One last note, do not hesitate to purchase this or any ukulele from Hawaii Music Supply; Andrew and his entire staff really know their stuff and are ready to answer any questions you may have, and their setups are done right. I couldn't be happier!

  2. A really great sounding and playing ukulele 0 people found this helpful

    I received my gloss K-1 C about 3 weeks ago and have been playing it everyday since then. I have to say that this is by far one of the best ukuleles that I have ever played. The sound is very warm, almost harp -like, with near perfect intonation up the neck. The set-up from Hawaii Music Supply was perfect as well; I can strum and pick notes with a heavy attack without any string buzz. I am relatively new to the ukulele, but have been playing guitar for over 30 years. I have owned a number of higher end guitars and basses through the years , so I know how a quality, professional-grade instrument fells like in your hands, and this Kanile'a concert has the same feel and build-quality as any $2000 and up Martin, Taylor, and Gibson acoustic guitar. If you are an intermediate player, you owe it to yourself to at least consider one of the "K" brand, Hawaiian built ukuleles for your next purchase. And I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and the entire crew at HMS. These guys know ukuleles and will do their best to ensure your satisfaction. I will definitely be buying from them again, when I am ready for my next purchase.

    This is my 2nd "K" uke, I order this K-1C from HMS and once I received it, I am surprise by it's build quality and design. I think Kanilea produces the most elegant ukulele among 4 K brand. It's tone is not as bright as Koaloha concert. But It gives very sweet and warm tone, I like it very much and keep playing it since I bought it!
