We have no photos of a finished D-1 6-string super tenor yet, so the examples show the six strings, bridge and headstock of an earlier D-1 6-string tenor, whose body is a little smaller, and the backs of earlier D-1 17” super tenors to show the larger super tenor body. Your koa grain will be different. Build time is usually 6 to 8 weeks, and we confirm it with you after you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the Core, Pro and Natural D-1 6-string super tenor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are solid Hawaiian koa with the same body, neck, six strings and Kanile'a TRU-R Bracing. The Core has Deluxe Grade koa with a UV gloss body and UV silk neck. The Pro uses Premium Grade koa and adds an oval side sound port, TRU-Reduction soundboard etching and a graphite infused black TUSQ nut and saddle. The Natural has Select Grade koa with a single-layer UV cured natural (satin) finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is TRU-Reduction soundboard etching?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRU-Reduction is a Kanileʻa process that uses laser etching to remove wood from selected areas on the inside of the koa soundboard. The lighter, more flexible top vibrates more freely, which gives more projection and sustain without weakening the top. It is one of the Pro Series upgrades; the Core and Natural Series do not have it. All three series share the same Kanileʻa TRU-R Bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the 17” or the 19” super tenor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page is the 17” super tenor: the larger super tenor body with a tenor's 17.08” scale, so it plays like a tenor with more volume and a deeper voice. Kanileʻa also builds a 19” long-neck 6-string super tenor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Kanile'a D-1 6-string super tenor tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is tuned G-C-c-E-a-A on a Worth fluorocarbon 6-string combo set with a wound low A. The C and A strings are doubled by octave strings, so you play the same chord shapes as a four-string ukulele while the octave pairs add a fuller, shimmering sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Kanile'a D-1 6-string super tenor solid wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every Kanile'a D-1 6-string super tenor, Core, Pro or Natural, is built from solid Hawaiian koa on the top, back and sides, with a single-piece genuine mahogany neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Kanile'a D-1 ukulele made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanile'a D-1 ukulele is made in Hawaiʻi by Kanileʻa ʻUkulele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I choose the exact ukulele I get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Kanile'a D-1 6-String 17” Super Tenor is hand-built from solid koa, so no two have the same grain. When a finished 6-string super tenor is in stock, it is listed under its series and its own serial number with Ships Now, and its photos show that exact ukulele.
