Key Features
Solid Hawaiian Koa Construction
The KO-1 features solid Hawaiian Koa for the top, back, and sides – the traditional and most sought-after tonewood for authentic ukulele sound. This premium material provides a warm, vibrant tone that improves with age, developing deeper resonance and character the more it's played.
Oha TRU Bracing System
Kanile'a's exclusive bracing design optimizes the instrument's resonance and structural integrity. This proprietary system enhances projection while maintaining tonal clarity across all registers, allowing the natural beauty of the Koa wood to shine through acoustically.
Radiused Back Design
The exclusive curved back profile increases internal air volume and improves sound projection. This innovative design feature creates a more dynamic playing experience with enhanced sustain and a fuller sound spectrum than traditionally flat-backed ukuleles.
Premium Hardware Components
The NuBone nut and saddle provide precise intonation and stable string action, while the Techwood head plate adds both visual appeal and structural integrity. These quality components ensure reliable performance and consistent tone production.
Elegant Appointments
Pearloid position markers, player-side dots, and a tasteful logo inlay add functionality without sacrificing the instrument's classic aesthetic. The high-gloss body finish contrasts beautifully with the satin neck, highlighting the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Koa wood.
