Pictures show the exact Hawaiian Koa Concert ukulele now available here! (If it says "In Stock")

This is a new model from Kanile'a for 2020. It features a Premium Hawaiian koa top and Honduran mahogany sides and back. Other features include a walnut fingerboard and bridge, UV natural finish, and black poplar position markers and logo. It's a new model to hit a lower price point, but it has all the tone of the Kanile'a concert and is made 100% in Hawaii. The lacquer satin finished koa has a really "woody" tone, very open. Take a listen to a dry sound sample from the same model.

Concert size is in between that of the classic soprano and the popular tenor. The Kanile'a concert would appeal to someone that wants the big sounds of a tenor with the relaxed tension of a concert scale.

Brittni gives us a sound sample of this new model. 

This concert Kanile'a has been upgraded with their new satin finish. It is a UV finish like their gloss but with an extremely smooth feel and natural wood look, hence they coined it "natural" finish. This one looks and sounds beautiful!

The feel-sound-look coming from Kanile'a has never been better and with the rising cost of Koa and life in Hawaii these definitely won't get better in price. If you are looking for a concert ukulele you will really love to play, this Kanile'a is a treat (and a great deal!!).

Instrument pictured and in video is the one you can buy now!

This ukulele comes with a canvas hard shell case. You can upgrade your case to an Oahu case by going to the case section of under the accessories tab and selecting the upgrade option for a discount when you decide on one. The wood cases will fit this ukulele best.

Setup Options

Most people shop with us because of the extensive quality control and final setup work we provide at no extra cost on all ukuleles we ship out. However this is time consuming work and creates a delay in shipping. We are now offering an "Expedited Setup" for those wanting to receive their instrument faster. See details on the Full Setup and Expedited Setup options along with current turnaround times for each at the link- HERE.

Extra Options

One of the options for this ukulele is to trade out the Humistat included humidifier for the more expensive Oasis Ukulele Humidifier (OH-18 or OH-32+) at a discount. This is required if you live in a low humidity area (parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, etc.) or also areas with winter seasons, especially if you heat the air in your home. For more info refer to the Ukulele Care link at the bottom of this page. If you think you need to humidify the instrument, then you also need to keep it in a hardcase with the humidifier while you're not playing, and you need to maintain the humidifier by refilling it as needed. 

Put a note in the special instructions if you need to or would like to let our setup or shipping department know anything. (i.e. String low G, setup left handed, deliver on this date, etc..)

After adding this instrument to your cart, you can still create your own package by adding accessories from the website.

Under the Accessories tab you can also customize this instrument by adding strap button(s) or your choice of pickup for plugging in. We recommend either the Mi-Si or the LR Baggs pickup for this ukulele. Note the return policy alters with this customization.

Setup Options

 

Current Turnaround Time: Amount of time it takes before shipment-

Full Setup: 10-14 Business Days

Basic Quality Control: 2-3 Days

BASIC QUALITY CONTROL covers inspecting the instrument for any major defects that would have been missed by the factory and any faults in construction that could potentially damage or limit the functionality of the instrument over time. Any defective instruments are rejected and replaced.  We make sure that each Ukulele meets the basic standard for a brand new instrument and will be ready to play once you receive it. A final cleanup is also included after inspection before packing and shipment.

Full Setup - FREE for all Ukuleles $399 and over / $20.00 for Ukuleles from $300-399 / $30.00 for Ukuleles Under $300


Includes:


-Overall QC evaluation: To find defects in construction as well as to get an overall view of the instrument and note the areas that need extra attention and adjustment during the setup.

-Saddle Adjustment: The height of the saddle is lowered to reduce the distance between the strings and the fretboard, making it easier to play than the factory setup, especially higher up the fretboard.

-Nut Slot Adjustment: The depth, width, and angle of the nut slots are adjusted to create a more comfortable playing experience especially on the lower frets.

-Fret Dressing: After adjusting the nut and saddle heights, high spots in the fretboard or uneven frets will potentially cause fret buzz, dead spots, or other unwanted problems. The frets are filed to create a more consistent level across the fretboard. We then crown the frets to return their rounded curvature back to the top of each fret creating a clear contact point for each string. We then smooth and polish the frets and condition the fingerboard to bring them back to new condition.

-Final Cleanup: We always do a final overall cleanup of the instrument to make sure it is in new condition and ready to play before it is prepared for shipment.

Rush Setup & Delivery - Additional $50.00
The RUSH SETUP AND DELIVERY service is for customers who would still like to receive everything included in the full setup but on a shorter time frame. One of our setup technicians will work overtime outside of normal business hours to complete the setup within 2-3 days of the order being placed and immediately hand it over to the shipping department for packing and shipment. The $50.00 rush charge is in addition to the cost of the full setup. 

Additional services (see individual product listings to add these services to your order)
Re-stringing: We will replace the factory installed stock string set with a new set of your choosing. Select the “replace stock strings” option when adding your desired string set to the shopping cart.

Strap Button Installation: 1-2 buttons are installed to allow the use of a strap. Color options available. 

Pickup installation: for players who would like the option to play or record with amplification.

Friction Tuner Upgrade (friction tuners only): We offer upgrade options for select instruments with friction tuners to be retrofitted with new geared tuners for better precision and comfort when tuning.

Left-handed Setup: Left-handed setups are also available upon request. Occasionally an additional charge may be added for compensated saddles on select models.
