We have no photos of a finished KPA super concert yet, so the examples show earlier KPA concerts (Core serial 29911, Pro serial 30306), which have the same Pāua abalone appointments and scale on a slightly smaller 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 and Pro KPA super concert?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are solid Hawaiian koa KPA super concerts with the same body, neck, Pāua abalone rosette, logo and markers, tortoise binding, gold tuners and Kanile'a TRU-R Bracing. The Core has Deluxe Grade koa, a white NuBone nut and saddle and high-G Worth fluorocarbon strings. 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.\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 Series does not have it. Both series share the same Kanileʻa TRU-R Bracing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Kanile'a KPA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KPA is Kanile'a's Pāua abalone model: a traditional round soundhole with a thick Pāua abalone rosette, Pāua logo and position markers, tortoise binding and gold open-geared tuners.

The KPA adds the Pāua abalone rosette, logo and markers, tortoise binding and gold tuners; the K-1 has a plain round soundhole with white mother-of-pearl inlays, and the D-1 has Kanile'a's D-shaped soundhole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a super concert ukulele?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA super concert keeps the 15.365” concert scale, so the frets feel like a concert, but puts it on a larger body for more volume and a deeper, fuller sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Kanile'a KPA super concert solid wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
