The Southern Ukulele Store is delighted to bring you this Big Island KP-SLS traditional pineapple series solid Hawaiian koa soprano ukulele.
When you think about Big Island ukuleles, you think bling. But do not be put off by the plain cosmetic looks because koa like this speaks for itself! This sweet and calmly confident little ukulele is endowed with all of the Aloha sunny island spirit and sound. As you would expect from koa, it is bright sounding, but very smooth at the same time, not too shrill but very satisfyingly refined.
This latest offering of pineapple ukes from Big Island offers a fuller mid register to the soprano body, filling out the divide between the tops and bottoms for a richer and more rounded tone. Although a soprano body though, the KP-SLS features a concert scale length neck, giving you more room for manoeuvre on the fretboard but retaining that soprano charm. More though still has been put into the playability of this sweet soprano, with an ultra smooth satin finish to the neck, helping you to avoid that sticking sensation often found with glossed necks.
The gloss finish to the body certainly helps to harden the wood, and help to increase the note definition and the volume. It comes with quality fixtures and fittings such as a bone nut and saddle, Indian rosewood fretboard and bridge, and koa wood buttons on the machines heads. It really is a high quality uke for both build and sound.
