Kala Hibiscus Mahogany Tenor Ukulele - Voyage Collection | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Kala Hibiscus Mahogany Tenor Ukulele represents the embodiment of enduring beauty through the 2024 Voyage Collection artwork by Maōri cultural artist Sam Mangakahia. This tenor ukulele features the "Resourceful • koki'o kea" design inspired by the endemic White Hawaiian Hibiscus (Hibiscus arnottianus), serving as a reminder to be resourceful and utilize available resources to uplift others. The soft ivory artwork stands out in beautiful contrast against the mahogany canvas, creating a unique instrument that combines traditional Hawaiian cultural significance with modern ukulele craftsmanship.
Product Overview
The Hibiscus tenor ukulele features all-mahogany construction with top, back, sides, and neck crafted from this tone-rich wood, delivering the warm, balanced sound that mahogany is renowned for in ukulele construction. The 16.875" scale length and 18-fret rosewood fingerboard provide extended range and comfortable playability for tenor ukulele applications. Professional appointments include Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle for optimal tone transfer, open gear chrome tuners for precise tuning stability, and Aquila Super Nylgut strings for authentic ukulele tone.
The artwork celebrates the White Hawaiian Hibiscus (koki'o kea), native to the moist and wet forests of Moloka'i and O'ahu mountains. This incredible plant has been used traditionally for lei making, medicinal purposes, and creating cordage for land and sea applications, embodying the resourceful spirit that the design represents.
