It has a CNC-cut sapele neck, an ebony fretboard and bridge, and a TUSQ nut and saddle. The headstock is KoAloha's 5-pointed crown and the soundhole is KoAloha's patented \"Musubi\" design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake and how is it tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake is a tenor ukulele, 26.75 inches long overall, with a 17.25-inch scale length, a 1.5-inch nut width and 20 frets. It ships with KoAloha fluorocarbon strings tuned G-C-E-A with an unwound low G, and KoAloha original geared tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Pikake mean on the KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePikake is KoAloha's name for the satin finish. In Terry Carter's review, the KTM-10 is the same as the standard KTM-00 tenor; the only difference is the satin finish, which covers the top, sides, back and neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake sound like and who is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoAloha describes the tone of its koa ukuleles as a balance of warmth and brightness, and says they suit styles from fingerpicking to strumming and from classical to jazz. In his review of the KTM-10, Terry Carter describes the sound as crisp with a lot of depth, and the satin neck as smooth to play. In his satin versus gloss comparison, he says satin ukuleles tend to ring out a little more than gloss ones, and that a gloss finish can hide imperfections in the wood, so a satin ukulele needs more carefully chosen wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I receive the exact ukulele in the photos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake we list is photographed individually, so the ukulele you choose under \"Your ukulele\" is the instrument shown in its photos. Solid koa varies in grain and colour from one ukulele to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel\/SKU: KoAloha KTM-10 (KTM-10)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: Tenor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Hawaiian koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and sides: Solid Hawaiian koa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Satin lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: CNC-cut sapele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard and bridge: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut and saddle: TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: KoAloha 5-pointed crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoundhole: KoAloha patented \"Musubi\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: KoAloha original geared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: KoAloha fluorocarbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning of G-C-E-A with UNWOUND LOW G\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 26.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale length: 17.25 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1.5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle width: 2.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody length: 11.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower bout width: 8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper bout width: 5.75 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: KoAloha lifetime warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKoAloha KTM-10 Pikake Solid Hawaiian Koa Tenor Ukulele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideos: KoAloha KTM-10 Pikake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lrQujNCHZI0\" srcdoc=\"\u0026lt;style\u0026gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}\u0026lt;\/style\u0026gt;\u0026lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lrQujNCHZI0?autoplay=1\u0026gt;\u0026lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/lrQujNCHZI0\/hqdefault.jpg alt='Play video'\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span\u0026gt;▶\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\" title=\"Gloss vs. Satin KoAloha Ukulele?
