BUILD TO ORDER - Choose Build to Order and KoAloha builds a new KSNP-00 for you by hand in Hawaii. Photos marked as examples show an earlier KCNP-00, the larger concert size of this Naupaka model, so your soprano will be smaller and its wood grain will be different. Build time is usually 6 to 8 weeks, and we confirm it with you after you order.
