Prized for its beautifully figured grain and superb tonal properties, Lanikai have created something special with the LU-CK-S. Lanikai have made use of this exquisite wood by handcrafting the CK series to their exacting specifications. Grown mostly on the island of Oahu, the gorgeous red-hued wood used for the Curly Koa series make these ukuleles look as beautiful as they sound.

In its most traditional form the Lanikai Soprano ukulele that owes its existence to Portuguese immigrants bringing their craft of instrument-building to Hawaii in the 1870s. Koa grows in abundance throughout Hawaii which is why it was used for making Ukuleles – the fact that it sounded amazing too turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
The Lanikai LU-CKS-S soprano ukulele features a bright tone, with a surprising amount of projection for such a small-bodied instrument. The sound of this soprano ukulele is the ideal instrument for the player looking for a serious step up from their first Uke. Perfect for both rhythmic and melodic finger work, the compact size lets you take it wherever you feel inspired to play.

The curly Koa body offers tremendous beauty and an engaging, focused tone. The 13.5″ scale length provides easy access all along the 12 nickel silver frets while the Lanikai soprano Koa ukulele’s solid mahogany satin finished neck adds strength to the instrument’s construction.
Other premium appointments include the Rosewood bridge and fingerboard along with chrome die-cast tuning machines geared 14:1 for those players who demand greater control over their tuning.

The natural lacquer finish compliments the look of the Curly Koa perfectly.
