Every instrument we build, with the exception of an eight string, may be equipped with a “G” fourth course (196Hz) fixed with a 0.029" wire-wrapped nylon-core string for no extra charge. The woven G-string is tuned an octave lower, which gives a richer sound and opens a wider picking range. In addition each Kanile’a ‘Ukulele, with the exception of our Baritones and Sopranos, can be upgraded to a multiple stringed instrument. All of our six and eight string instruments come with a 1/8" x 3/8" Carbon Fiber (Graphite) rod inlayed into the neck. This Carbon Fiber rod adds significant strength to the neck and improves instrument tonal response. Here we list the standard ‘ukulele tuning and the different string combinations.
