What is the Royal Pikake?
The KoAloha Royal Pikake KTM-10RP Tenor Ukuleles are exactly the same as the KTM-10 Pikake but has upgraded satin Koa wood, satin Ebony Headplate, reverse Ko’Aloha 5 point crown at bottom of ebony fretboard, and upgraded KoAloha geared tuners.
Why is that important? There are 2 major reasons.
The first is that the Koa wood chosen for the Royal Pikake ukes is a nicer wood grain. Imperfections in the koa wood can be hidden or bluffed out of a high gloss uke. Since the satin pikake finish does not let you hide the imperfections the wood has to be cleaner and have a nicer look.
The second thing is that the satin finish allows the ukulele sing. It it believed that the high gloss finish, although it looks great, it can stifle the sound of the wood. The satin finish of the Royal Pikakes allow the wood to breathe and thus creates a purer and more magical tone.
Ready for your Royal Pikake?
Don't wait KoAloha does not produce that many of them and when they are available they go fast.

* CUSTOM SETUP - Although each instrument comes with a factory setup, it is strongly recommended to consider adding a custom setup. This is especially important if you value ease of playability, suffer from arthritis, have specific preferences for your setups, or desire a low action (i.e., minimal distance between strings and fretboard). In order to explore these customization options, simply click the "ADD SETUP" button below.
* REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY - To ensure your warranty is valid, it's crucial to use a humidifier, which is strongly recommended regardless of where you live. Not only do humidifiers safeguard your investment, but they also facilitate the warranty process by demonstrating that you have taken precautions to protect your ukulele. When making a warranty claim, it is likely that they will inquire about your use of a humidifier.
* A PICKUP (several brands available) - There are several brands available for pickup - simply click on "ADD PICKUP". However, it's important to note that install times may vary. If you require your instrument sooner, we recommend utilizing the RUSH pickup option.
