This model is a deluxe soprano model, exuding dignity in both its materials and decoration.
It is made near Honolulu on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, and its tone, which is said to be the basic and standard of ukulele, is truly classic.
This time, I had the opportunity to choose a product that I was satisfied with from multiple stocks. We have selected a ukulele that we can confidently recommend to our customers.
This 1D is a very attractive piece with its unique wood grain.
The video shows the actual sound, so please use it as a reference for the sound.

Kamaka Ukulele was founded in 1916. It is the oldest ukulele manufacturer still in existence in Hawaii. It is now synonymous with the ukulele and is also known as the "King of Ukuleles," and has established an unshakable position as one of the world's top manufacturers. The techniques and spirit cultivated in Hawaiian culture have been passed down without being lost even now, 100 years later.
They have received tremendous support from famous artists across countries and generations, including Eddie Kamae, Ota San (Herb Ota), Jake Shimabukuro, and in Japan, Kazuyuki Sekiguchi (Southern All Stars), Rio, and Toshiki Kondo, and the sounds they create are still heard all over the world today.
