Lanikai CK-TEQ Tenor Curly Koa Acoustic Electric Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's not often you find a KOA ukulele at such a great price. This ukulele has a beautiful tone and sounds fantastic amped! I own four ukuleles now and this one is by far my favorite. Lanikai, although made in china, makes outstanding ukuleles. When I first got it, it made a buzzing sound when strumming loud. This is an easy fix. There was a wire resting up against the soundboard. I just reached into the sound hole and adjusted the wire so it was no longer resting on the soundboard. As a result, the best ukulele ever! The tuning pegs are phenomenal. The cutaway design really helps when playing the higher frets. To top it all off, this ukulele looks fantastic. If you are considering a tenor ukulele to add to your ukulele family, I highly recommend this one.

Kala Curly Mango Tenor Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my Kala Mango Uke about 2 years ago, and i'ts still my favorite of all the instruments that i own.
Every aspect of the uke is asthetically pleasing, from the beautiful color of the wood, to the gold plated gear tuners and pink pearloid tuning knobs.
What is most striking about it, of course is the sound. It has an extremely bright, forward sound which includes beautiful ringing high notes and deep bass notes.
I've only hooked it up to an amp a couple of times, and it works well, but it is such a loud uke, that i perfer to play without.
Great Buy!

Lanikai SM-T Custom Series Spalted Mango Tenor Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this ukulele! The spalted mango wood is quite striking, as is the the abalone inlay around the soundhole and top edge binding. The tone is wonderful. The action just right. The tuning pegs work very well. One word of warning, and this applies to all wood instruments like guitars, violins, etc: I would advise buying a case and storing the ukulele in it when not being played. Wood, especially the thin woods used in an instrument of this type, are very susceptible to low-humidity conditions. If you live in a dry climate, or experience cold, dry winters, you really do need to keep the instrument humidified, and that is best done with an in-case humidifier. If you don't, you run the risk of cracks in the wood as it dries out. And I learned this the hard way. Guitar or ukulele humidifiers are pretty inexpensive. There are even instructions online for making them.

The flame mahogany neck adds to the stability and comfort of this exquisite instrument. Rounded off with the gold vintage style tuners this ukulele is a classic in the making.If you have never played ukulele before get ready for a world of fun.

Lanikai NK-T Custom Series Koa Tenor Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have played many ukuleles and to me this by far sounds the best. The natural Koa seems to resonate more than the standard Koa or curly Koa ukuleles. I did switch out my strings as soon as I got it for some black strings with the low string being a metal wound string but that's a personal preference. The workmanship is beautiful. I was skeptical originally because I am the type to try before I buy. I had the S-TEQ before this and didn't like the "bright" sound compared to the softer Koa sound. I will try to post a video review so you can hear it.

When the British ship The Ravenscrag first landed in Hawaii they brought with them an instrument never before seen on the islands. The machête was an all mahogany instrument that captured the attention of the locals who wanted one of their own. With no native mahogany on the islands the Portuguese ship carpenters began building what is now known as the ukulele out of koa. Lanikai continues in that tradition by creating the Natural Koa Series. Featuring a Solid Figured Koa top and Figured Koa back/sides the NK series has the exceptionally crisp tone that koa is prized for. The abalone inlays on the body and sound hole coupled with flame maple binding make this ukulele a work of art. Lanikai breaks tradition is by installing Grover tuners geared 18/1 for exceptional tuning control. This is a welcome change for anyone who has dealt with the frustration of using the standard friction tuners. With the easy playability, and included instruction booklet written by Mary Lou Dempler you will be playing in a matter of minutes. If you have never played ukulele before get ready for a world of fun. The ukulele is an addicting instrument that can and will be taken everywhere. The standard tuning on a Soprano, Concert, and Tenor ukulele is GCEA, and on a Baritone DGBE. If you can play one ukulele you can play them all!
