The Kanileʻa "KPA Series" concert model features beautiful curly Hawaiian koa and vivid paua abalone ornamentation.

This is a concert size model from the "KPA Core" series, a high-end line among Kanileʻa, a brand representing Hawaiian-made ukuleles. It is a concert model that uses deluxe grade solid Hawaiian koa for the body.

Thick paua abalone is used for the rosette, and combined with tortoise trim, it creates a striking design.

Paua abalone is also used for the position markers and head logo, giving it a luxurious and ornate feel.

The tortoise binding tightens the overall look, and the combination of Hawaiian koa and paua abalone makes this a beautiful instrument.

The neck is made of solid mahogany, and the fingerboard, bridge, and headplate are made of ebony.

Gold GOTOH geared tuners (16:1) provide stable tuning accuracy.

Equipped with Kanileʻa's unique "TRU-R Bracing System."
By drawing out the natural vibrations of the top wood, it achieves both excellent responsiveness and rich resonance. Furthermore, the Radiused Back construction provides a deep sound expansion.

This concert ukulele offers Kanileʻa's characteristic clear and three-dimensional sound, along with excellent volume and balance.

Kanile'a

Kanileʻa ʻUkulele(カニレア・ウクレレ) は、1998年にハワイ・オアフ島でジョー・ソウザ氏とクリステン・ソウザ氏によって設立されたブランドである。

ジョー氏は、家族や仲間と歌い奏でる“カニカピラ”文化の中で育ち、名工ピーター “Uncle Pete” バミューデス氏のもとで製作技術を学ぶ。その後自宅ガレージで工房をスタートし、現在ではハワイを代表するウクレレブランドへと成長した。

伝統を大切にしながらも革新的な設計を積極的に取り入れており、独自の「TRUブレーシング」や快適性を高める各種構造など、演奏性と響きを追求した独創的な楽器作りで知られている。また、製作した楽器1本につき1本のコアの木を植樹する活動も行っており、ハワイの自然と文化を次世代へ繋ぐ取り組みを続けている。
