Diamond `Ukulele
Instrument pictured is the Kanile`a Diamond Super Tenor
Introduced in 2014, this Kanile’a is the very first model to showcase the Super Tenor size as a standard feature. Designed by the eldest of Joe & Kristen Souza’s three sons, Kaimana (whose name means diamond in Hawaiian) sought to make a bold statement with a wider lower bout to create a deeper sound, gorgeous Premium Curly Koa, a sleek Cobra Slotted head stock and an accenting Zebra wood rosette. If you are looking for a quiet, non-descriptive instrument, this is NOT the ‘ukulele for you! (pictured: Diamond)

A graphite rod is placed in the neck under the fingerboard for added stability and strength on the following `ukulele:
- All Super Tenor 19″ instruments
- All Baritone instruments
- All instruments with five or more strings
Each instrument we build, with the exception of an 8-string, may be equipped with a “G” fourth course (196Hz) fixed with a 0.029″ Phosphor Bronze wire-wrapped nylon-core string for no extra charge. The woven “low G-string” is tuned an octave lower, which gives a richer sound and opens a wider picking range.
Note: These are photos of a previously built `ukulele. Please keep in mind that this is a sample. In the world of wood products, the finished instrument may vary from one piece to another and you will not find two pieces the same. These photos give you an idea of what the accessories look like as well as the shape and size. The woods will always vary in grain, curl, and color.
