【Discontinued & Rare Model】Tenor Model with a Sophisticated, Ultra-Lightweight Slotted Head and Functional Beauty
This is a tenor model from the "KSR (Kanileʻa Slotted Regular)" series, which combines Kanileʻa's traditional regular design with a stylish slotted head (SRT) specification. In fact, this KSR series has unfortunately been discontinued due to recent brand lineup restructuring. It has disappeared from the domestic authorized dealer's catalog, and obtaining the same "simple decoration + slotted head" specification would now only be possible through individual custom orders (with high option fees and long lead times), making it a very valuable model today.
A major appeal of this series is its deliberate omission of unnecessary decorations, resulting in a simple finish that directly highlights the instrument's inherent functional beauty and exquisite wood grain. The top, sides, and back are luxuriously crafted from carefully selected deluxe-grade Hawaiian koa solid wood (DG). This achieves beautiful curly grain and a rich, dynamic, and resonant sound. Furthermore, the body's soundboard edge features a smooth elbow contour (chamfering), dramatically improving playability and exuding the sophisticated functional beauty befitting a high-end model.
The biggest highlight of this instrument is its unique headstock, packed with the brand's outstanding technology. Despite featuring a prominent slotted head, the head thickness is designed to an extremely thin 11mm. To complement this thin head, we've incorporated GOTOH Stealth tuners, known as the world's smallest and lightest gear tuners. This completely eliminates the head-heavy imbalance (weight distribution disruption) characteristic of slotted heads. It achieves both a smart, sharp look and an excellent weight balance that makes the instrument feel remarkably light in hand.
Of course, all of Kanileʻa's patented cutting-edge technologies are fully incorporated, including their unique TRU-R bracing system and the radiused back construction that enhances sound spread. This instrument is the pinnacle of modern ukuleles, combining the rich volume of deluxe-grade materials and meticulously calculated lightweight design within a simple, uncluttered aesthetic. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire this rare instrument, no longer available new, and make it a lifelong companion.
