KoAloha KSM-12 Pikake Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Long Neck Ukulele w/Hard Case

KoAloha's koa Pikake soprano is a seriously beautiful ukulele. It combines effortless playability with bags of tone, projection and stunning natural looks. You won't find a better koa soprano than this - KoAloha offer the best and most vibrant sounding koa ukuleles currently being made in Hawaii. Their clever internal bracing allows the top to vibrate for longer and harder.

This soprano long neck model, the Pikake, has the same soprano body as the standard KSM-10 but with a concert scale, for more room to navigate the fingerboard but maintaining the iconic KoAloha soprano sound. It features a satin finish, which allows the sound to be a little more open and a little mellower than its glossed sister, the KSM-00. Whilst retaining all of the bombast and vitality in the sound, the Pikake just has the brighter edges smoothed off, sounding a little dreamier and floatier.

KoAloha use no grain filler before applying the satin finish. This allows the instrument to sound as amazing as it does, but it does mean that you have to expect small cosmetic anomalies and flaws, where features and grain in the wood show through the finish.

Pictures show actual instrument that you will receive. To keep this one safe, KoAloha have included a branded woodshell case.
