It has a CNC-cut mahogany neck, an ebony fretboard and bridge, and a TUSQ nut and saddle. The headstock is KoAloha's 5-pointed crown, and the tuners are KoAloha geared tuners, three on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani and how is it tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani is a 6-string tenor ukulele, 26.75 inches long overall, with a 17.25-inch scale length, a 1.5-inch nut width and 20 frets. It uses KoAloha fluorocarbon strings, and its G-c-C-E-a-A tuning includes unwound low C and low A strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani a guitarlele?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. In Terry Carter's review, the KTM-16 is a standard tenor ukulele with six strings, not a guitarlele. It follows standard G-C-E-A ukulele tuning with two of the four courses doubled: the G is a single low G, the C is a pair of high C and low C an octave apart, the E is a single string, and the A is a pair of high A and low A an octave apart. Terry Carter says that because not every course is doubled, it gets some of the fullness of a 12-string guitar without every string being doubled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani 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 reviews, Terry Carter says the KTM-16 works for strumming, fingerpicking, blues and jazz. Because it uses standard G-C-E-A tuning, he says you can play your usual ukulele chords and courses on it. He says KoAloha offered a low G or a high G, and the KTM-16 comes with the low G, which adds a little extra bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani priced lower than the gloss KTM-06?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerry Carter says the satin finish takes less time in the finishing room than a gloss finish, and the KTM-16 has no ebony head plate, which also takes time, so KoAloha can bring the price down while still making it in Hawaii from solid koa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I receive the exact ukulele in the photos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani 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-16 (KTM-16)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 6-string 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: CNC-cut mahogany\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\u003eTuners: KoAloha geared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: KoAloha fluorocarbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning of G-c-C-E-a-A with UNWOUND LOW C, UNWOUND LOW C, E, A, UNWOUND LOW A\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-16 Imaikalani Solid Hawaiian Koa 6-String Tenor Ukulele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVideos: KoAloha Imaikalani 6-string\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-embed\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXFxUkBkyhM\" 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\/qXFxUkBkyhM?autoplay=1\u0026gt;\u0026lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/qXFxUkBkyhM\/hqdefault.jpg alt='Play video'\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span\u0026gt;▶\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/a\u0026gt;\" title=\"KoAloha KTM-06 Imaikalani 6 String Tenor Ukulele Hawaiian Koa - Super Ukulele Review\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the KoAloha KTM-16 Imaikalani made in Hawaii?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
