Islander by Kanile'a - Mahogany Tenor Ukulele!

This was the model that really put Islander on the map. The MT-4 has such a big warm tone while still retaining the bright qualities that are uniquely ukulele.
This one really get towards that Kanile'a tone but with it's own voice. We're impressed with the volume and body of sound this model gives at such an affordable price and it's been the perfect fit for many of our customers.
The Islander has a 1.5" nut width allowing a little more space when compared to the 1 3/8" most companies do. That aspect makes it popular for those with larger hands or just players that want more space for chording.

Mika gives a raw sound sample.

If you are looking for an affordable , high quality sound in a tenor ukulele, this Islander MT-4 may be just right!

"The Islander Mahogany Series Ukulele offers a very bright yet balanced traditional Hawaiian tone that is so synonymous to this wonderful instrument. Our time-honored approach allows these instruments have a very clean, authentic ukulele look to them".

    Bought mine at Cosmo Music Toronto, prepped just right. Terrific sound for the price, matter of fact like the sound better than many of the more expensive ukes I tried. Sure there's no fancy inlays or exotic finish, but who cares? It's the sound that counts. Great sustain and projection for a laminate and stays in tune.

    I ordered this uke from HMS a few months ago. It was a bargain. Very nice set up. It sounds like a little dream. It is easy to play. I have a hard time putting it down. I highly recommend it and HMS.

    I purchased one at a higher price about a month and a half ago. I love playing it, just wish I didn't have to look at it. The finish is not what I am used to with my 3 other ukuleles. Even my least expensive Cordoba 15CM is much more attractive. The Islander MT-4 has grain "pits" all over the Mahogany surfaces - I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder - but I find it ugly. I know it is relatively inexpensive but the two sides don't even come close to matching at the bottom of the ukulele and that joint is slightly depressed. Also, the heel and the heel cap are part smooth and part indented - lack of quality control?. There are several, what I think, are tiny air bubbles in the finish on the back of the neck which are distracting to feel once you notice they are there. I it hard for me to rate price and value because the appearance is so off-putting to me. I play it a lot and enjoy it as a musical instrument. As a piece of art it leave me cold.

    Just received the MT-4 uke from HMS. Great setup and love the "low g" tuning. The sound grows on you. Great value with the hard case. Workmanship on this unit is more than I expected. Many thanks to Andrew on helping me decide on this uke.
