Photos marked as examples show the body and headstock of an earlier K-1 5-string 17” super tenor, which shares the same body; the 19” has a longer neck, and your koa grain will be different.

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 19” super tenor: the larger super tenor body with a longer 19.06” scale, for more string tension and wider fret spacing. Kanileʻa also builds a 17” super tenor with a tenor's 17.08” scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the K-1 compare to the D-1?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey share the same Hawaiian koa, mahogany neck, Crown headstock and series options. The K-1 has a traditional round soundhole and ebony bridge pins, and the D-1 has Kanile'a's D-shaped soundhole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Kanile'a K-1 5-string super tenor solid wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Every Kanile'a K-1 5-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\u003eHow is the Kanile'a K-1 5-string super tenor tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is tuned G-g-C-E-A on a Worth fluorocarbon x GHS phosphor bronze 5-string set. The G course has a wound low G next to a high G, so chords ring with both the classic re-entrant sparkle and a fuller low end, using the same shapes as a four-string ukulele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is the Kanile'a K-1 ukulele made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kanile'a K-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 K-1 5-String 19” Super Tenor is hand-built from solid koa, so no two have the same grain.
