Before writing this listing I sat for a few minutes playing this Ukulele in the hope I could find the right words and I got carried away.. This Ukulele is completely different to the other Tenor options available around the same price. At the top end, you've got stiff competition from the established Hawaiian brands like Kanile'a and KoAloha. This Kiwaya has a slightly sweeter and more petite vibe to it.

You simply can't discount Kiwaya, especially as they have become known in the industry for making new instruments that compete with even the most distinguished vintage Martin.

This is our first experience with the Arist series Koa Kiwaya Tenors and my positive feelings about this Ukulele only grow the longer I play it. The tone is such a mature sound for a new instrument it really is staggering. If you play in an ensemble then its mellow nature might be a problem but in a quiet room alone with your thoughts armed with a pensive song or perhaps in front of a Microphone. then the beautifully introverted and complex sound of this Tenor may be the one for you. Much like with their Soprano and Concert models; Kiwaya have made playing the Tenor Ukulele romantic again.
