Hōkūpaʻa

At the heart of the 2025 Platinum and Platinum X is a bold emblem of excellence: a sterling silver Kanileʻa logo paired with the brilliance of a diamond-encrusted Hōkūpaʻa — the North Star. In traditional Hawaiian voyaging, the Hōkūpaʻa is the steadfast guiding star, ensuring safe passage and direction. For us, it symbolizes the values that guide our company: Meticulous craftsmanship, Uplifting artistry, Sustainable practices, Innovative design, and strong Character — the core of M.U.S.I.C..

This exquisite star sparkles with 33 hand-set diamonds, totaling 0.112 carat, making history as the first-ever use of diamonds in an ʻukulele. A shimmering testament to our commitment to elevate the art of instrument-making, this unprecedented feature reflects not just luxury, but a deep dedication to precision and beauty. We are incredibly proud to introduce this milestone in the world of ʻukulele — a dazzling blend of tradition and innovation.

ʻIwa Manu

The Platinum X takes the ʻIwa Manu to a new level of luxury, with each inlay meticulously crafted in sterling silver and enhanced by 159 hand-set diamonds, totaling a stunning 0.818 carat. This unique and groundbreaking design is a first in the ukulele world, combining the symbolism of the ʻIwa Manu — the Hawaiian frigatebird representing boundless freedom and ambition — with the brilliance of diamonds. Representing the 10th iteration of the Platinum series, the ʻIwa Manu inlays on the Platinum X speak to both our dedication to artistic excellence and our continued innovation. The diamonds add a level of brilliance that mirrors the journey of the Platinum X: a journey that soars to new heights of craftsmanship and beauty, inviting players to join in the evolution of a legacy.

10 Endemic Woods for 10 Years of Excellence

The 2025 Platinum is a tribute to a decade of excellence, thoughtfully incorporating 10 endemic Hawaiian woods to honor the 10th Platinum model. The body is crafted from Master Grade Koa, revered for its exceptional beauty and tone. The Iwa Manu headstock inlay is made from Lama, the sacred Hawaiian ebony. The rosette is a stunning mosaic of 8 additional endemic woods — Aʻaliʻi, Kou, Alaheʻe, ʻIliahi, Milo, Kamani, ʻŌhiʻa, and Koaiʻe — each representing one of the 8 main Hawaiian islands. Framed by Kailua beach sand, this design symbolizes the sands that connect us as a lāhui, a Hawaiian people united by culture and legacy. This conscious use of these rare, native materials not only celebrates our heritage but reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and community — making this Platinum a true embodiment of our journey and values.
