What makes your 'ukuleles different than others?
It's funny when a customer calls and asks "do you make Kamaka's?" or "does yours sound like a Martin". We always answer kindly and say, "No, Kamaka makes Kamaka's" and "Martin built very sweet sounding instruments, but ours are different". The fact is ours are very different in a good way. We have applied some very modern styles of bracing and thickness tolerances along with age old drying and seasoning techniques that allow our instruments to ring like no other. The first thing that all of our new customers notice is how incredible their new instrument sounds. We have had customers say "their new instruments sounds like it's plugged into amplifier". Now, all the bindings, inlays, "bells and whistles" mind you are great. The fact is, how does it sound? Volume is the first aspect a new Kanile'a owner will notice. Next, is the instruments sustain (how long the sound hangs around). This vibrating sound box just doesn't stop vibrating and omitting sound. Ease of playability will be another welcoming facet. A big part of enjoying the instrument will be its ease of playability (its final set up) and this only comes with years of experience as a player who has became a builder.
