Description
The Kanile'a Ukulele Honu Natural Series Hawaiian koa tenor ukulele is a stunning, handcrafted instrument that channels the spirit of Hawai'i into every note. Made from select Hawaiian koa, this tenor ukulele produces a warm, balanced tone with exceptional clarity, perfect for expressive strumming or intricate fingerpicking.

Designed for players seeking tonal richness and authentic aesthetics, this ukulele delivers both beauty and performance in equal measure.
Honu Natural Series With Tru-R Bracing Pattern for Enhanced Projection
This ukulele features Kanile'a's Tru-R bracing, an innovative system that optimizes the soundboard's vibration for improved sustain and projection. By precisely engineering the bracing pattern, Kanile'a allows the koa's natural tonal properties to shine, creating a dynamic and responsive playing experience. Whether 're performing solo or accompanying vocals, the Tru-R bracing ensures every note resonates with rich, full-bodied warmth. This design not only enhances the instrument's acoustic properties but also provides the tonal depth and projection that discerning players demand.
Natural UV Finish for Long-Lasting Durability
The Kanile'a tenor ukulele is protected by a single-layer natural UV-cured finish, ensuring superior durability while maintaining the wood's natural voice. This satin-like coating creates a smooth feel that enhances comfort during extended play sessions. Unlike heavy finishes that can dampen resonance, Kanile'a's UV finish lets the koa breathe, preserving its vibrant tonal qualities. The finish also guards against wear and environmental factors, making this ukulele as reliable as it is beautiful. Players can enjoy unmatched durability without compromising the instrument's acoustic performance.
