The Kanile'a Islander range is absolutely fabulous and this long neck super concert ukulele is no exception. Made with acacia, you get a wonderful tone and all the fun of a longer neck.
If there is one thing our customer over the past 10 years have reinforced time and time again; it's that Kanile'a are one of the few companies that can make long neck ukuleles that feel just right.
This A-SC-4 is the first super concert produced by Kanile'a in their Islander line. It's wonderful to finally see an affordable option out there for players wanting that larger tenor ukulele neck with a gentler springier concert sound. The laminate acacia has such an authentic mellow tone that I was fooled at first into thinking it was a solid top. Further proof if ever it was needed that sometimes a laminate is where it's at!
If you love sound of a concert ukulele but prefer the warm embrace of a wide nut (38mm) tenor neck then get on board with Kanile'a Islander's slice of magic on a budget.
