We have no photos of a finished D-1 super soprano yet, so the examples show the front of earlier D-1 sopranos (same D-shaped soundhole, slightly smaller body and shorter neck) and the back of an earlier K-1 super soprano (same super soprano 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 super soprano?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three are solid Hawaiian koa with the same body, neck 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, a graphite infused black TUSQ nut and saddle, and a low-G string set. 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\u003eWhat is a super soprano ukulele?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA super soprano has a soprano-style body with a longer 15.365” concert-length neck. You get the bright, classic soprano voice with more room between the frets and a little more volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the D-1 compare to the K-1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey share the same Hawaiian koa, mahogany neck, Crown headstock and series options. The D-1 has Kanile'a's D-shaped soundhole, and the K-1 has a traditional round soundhole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Kanile'a D-1 super soprano solid wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every Kanile'a D-1 super soprano, 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\u003eHow is the Kanile'a D-1 super soprano tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Core and Natural come with Worth fluorocarbon strings and a high G for standard re-entrant G-C-E-A tuning.
