Description
KoAloha KSM-02 Gloss Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Long Neck Ukulele is a soprano long neck ukulele made by hand in Hawaii, with a solid Hawaiian koa top, back and sides and a buffed high gloss finish. It pairs the small soprano body with the longer neck of a concert ukulele, which gives more room between the frets.

BUILD TO ORDER - Choose Build to Order and KoAloha builds a new KSM-02 for you by hand in Hawaii. Photos marked as examples show a KoAloha KSM-T2, a gloss solid koa soprano with a longer tenor-length neck, so the neck on yours is shorter and the wood grain will be different. Build time is usually 6 to 8 weeks, and we confirm it with you after you order.
