TRU-Relief

The TRU-Relief feature of the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele is designed with player comfort in mind, the TRU-Relief is achieved by contouring soundboard and tapered side edges. This thoughtful ergonomic design allows the ukulele to fit comfortably under the arm ensuring a more enjoyable playing experience.

By enhancing comfort, the TRU-Relief enables musicians to focus entirely on their performance, allowing for longer practice sessions without discomfort. This attention to detail underscores Kanileʻa's commitment to creating instruments that not only look beautiful but also feel great to play.

TRU-Reduction

The TRU-Reduction feature of the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele employs advanced laser etching techniques to strategically remove mass from the inside of the soundboard. This innovative process increases the elasticity of the wood, allowing for greater resonance and tonal clarity.

By counteracting the added stiffness that can occur from the bent top design, the TRU-Reduction ensures that the ukulele maintains its vibrant sound quality while enhancing the overall tonal response. This meticulous attention to detail reflects Kanileʻa's dedication to craftsmanship, ensuring that every note played on the KTR resonates with richness and depth, providing musicians with an exceptional sonic experience.

Phoenix Slotted Headstock

The Phoenix Slotted Headstock on the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele is a standout feature that was exclusive to the Platinum models for five years before making its way onto a production model. This unique shape not only adds a distinctive aesthetic appeal but also enhances the instrument's performance.

Equipped with ultra-thin, exclusive Gotoh stealth tuners with a precise 20:1 ratio, the Phoenix Slotted Headstock allows for smooth and accurate tuning adjustments. The slotted design increases the break angle of the strings as they leave the nut, resulting in added tension across the scale length. This enhancement contributes to improved sustain and responsiveness, ensuring that every note played resonates beautifully. The Phoenix Slotted Headstock exemplifies Kanileʻa's commitment to innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship, making the KTR a remarkable choice for any musician.

Highlights

Sand Position Marker and Logo Inlays

The Kailua Beach Sand Position Markers and Logo on the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele bring a unique touch to this model, making it the only one outside of the Artist Series to feature exquisite sand inlays. This special inclusion not only enhances the ukulele's aesthetic but also creates a deeper connection to the Hawaiian landscape.

Adding to its distinctiveness, the diamond-shaped position markers are the only non-circular inlays in the Kanileʻa lineup, offering a striking contrast to traditional designs. This thoughtful detail reflects Kanileʻa's commitment to innovation while honoring the beauty of Hawaii's natural elements. The Kailua Beach sand inlays serve as a symbol of the island's rich culture, making the KTR not just an instrument but a piece of art that resonates with the spirit of Hawaii.

Black TUSQ Nut and Saddle

The Black TUSQ Nut and Saddle on the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele play a crucial role in enhancing sound quality. Crafted from a high-density material, the Black TUSQ nut and saddle increase hardness, ensuring optimal durability and longevity.

By minimizing the loss of sound transfer during play, these components help to preserve the ukulele’s rich tonal characteristics. This careful attention to material choice ensures that every note resonates clearly, providing musicians with an exceptional playing experience. The Black TUSQ Nut and Saddle exemplify Kanileʻa's commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making the KTR a standout choice for players seeking both performance and reliability.

Black Front Binding

The Black Front Binding on the Kanileʻa KTR ʻUkulele serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, framing the body with a sleek, sophisticated outline that enhances its overall beauty. This striking contrast against the natural wood grain not only elevates the visual appeal but also reinforces the instrument's durability.

By protecting the raw wood edges, the binding ensures that the ukulele remains resilient against wear and tear, preserving its stunning appearance for years to come. This combination of elegance and practicality highlights Kanileʻa's commitment to quality craftsmanship, making the KTR not just an instrument but a work of art designed to withstand the test of time.
