Kanile'a K-1 M T PRO Premium Curly Mango Tenor Ukulele w/gigbag #29791

It feels like we have entered yet another new era with this limited edition all mango range from Kanile'a. A huge move for a manufacturer who have built their foundation upon fine Hawaiian Koa, but one that has seriously impressed. There are will only be fifty Kanile'a mango models worldwide, with just four hitting the pegs here at SUS, so when we say limted edition, we mean LIMITED!

Firstly let's address the obvious, that stunning curly mango! It was important that Kanile'a introduced this new drop with some shock and awe, utilising both visually impactful, but more importantly vibrationally impressive tonewood. The curly mango they have selected is nothing short of breathtaking, with the warm, balanced tone and bright articulation that only fine mango can deliver. As for visual presence, the images speak for themselves, wow!

This K-1MT Pro series all mango tenor has Kanile'a's trademarked TRU reduction which is laser thinning on select points of the top to tune the instrument and offer more stability whilst allowing the top to vibrate more freely. A side sound port which allows the player to hear everything back as if they are the audience (particularly useful if you play in loud rooms).

The Pro-series also features a black TUSQ nut and saddle which as a standalone component can cost as much as an additional $120 when Kanile'a build them custom to order. The black TUSQ components create more sustain and volume. Finally, this being a Pro series uke, the mango used is of course premium or master grade mango selected for its curl, aesthetic quality (Kanile'a call is 'drama') and personality in the wood.
