Kohala Deluxe Solid Top Concert Acoustic Electric Ukulele

Size chart
Sizing Information

Soprano -Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele body sizes and is the traditional ukulele size.  The Honu Soprano is perfect for kids learning ukulele or for adults who prefer the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.

Concert -Concert ukuleles are currently the most popular ukulele body size worldwide.  Bigger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, a concert uke is the perfect middle ground for most players.  This size is suitable for all ages, though small children may be better suited to a soprano.

Tenor -Tenor ukuleles are exploding in popularity thanks to the full, deep sound produced by their larger body size.  Bigger than the concert, the tenor is great for teenagers and adults that are looking for the most volume from their ukulele and extra space for their fingers on the fretboard.

Baritone -As the name suggests, a baritone ukulele is the largest and deepest sounding of all of the ukulele sizes.  Usually tuned like the highest four strings of a guitar (DGBE), rather than the GCEA tuning found on most ukes, a baritone is great if you have a background in guitar because you won't have to learn any new chord shapes.  They are also very fun if you are a ukulele player looking to experiment with a different tone.

Acacia has long been one of the most popular tonewoods used on higher end ukuleles and it's easy to see why.  Visually striking and tonally rich, each piece of acacia has its own characteristics, making each instrument built with it unique.  For our Kohala Deluxe series, we have paired the all acacia body with abalone style purfling and rosette and flame maple binding.  The installed UK-500T pickup system includes a built in tuner with 3-band EQ and is powered by included lightweight CR2032 batteries.  As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including solid acacia top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, open back machine heads for tuning precision and eco-friendly wood selections.

The Highlights
  • Solid figured acacia top, figured acacia back and sides
  • UK-500T pickup system with built-in tuner and 3-band EQ

Model - Kohala

Kohala Series

The Kohala has all of the aesthetic upgrades of the Mano, including solid top, maple binding, gold tuners, and dual strap pins, but it’s built with acacia wood instead of mahogany. Acacia is revered for its beautiful, full tone and we’ve added abalone-style trim around the body.

For more information on our models and the differences between them, check out our Buyer's Guide section on models here.

Size - Concert

Currently the most popular body size, the concert ukulele is slightly longer, and the body is slightly bigger than the soprano, at 24".  This provides a bit more space for fingers on the fingerboard.  It will sound quite similar, tonally, to the soprano, but the slightly larger body will produce a little more volume and depth thanks to the larger resonating chamber.  We suggest the concert model for anyone seeking the traditional ukulele tone, but who may be a little more comfortable with a bigger body.

    Love my ukulele!

    Got this for Christmas, have never played before, but wanted to learn. It has a lovely sound and beautiful craftsmanship. Gotta keep it away from my daughter, she keeps stealing it to play herself!

    Love my uke!

    I am very happy with my new tenor ukulele! After the initial confusion, when I received a ukulele with a high G string-turns out I missed a step in ordering. I have visited a local music store and had the string changed to low G. All is good!

    Amazing Ukulele

    This is my first Solid top ukulele as all my other ones are laminated. This a solid top tenor ukulele for about the same price as a laminated one. What a deal! The qualiyof the uke is shown in the sound it produces. I'm glad we have an option for well priced solid top ukeleles in Canada. Will by again from Honolua for sure.

    Lovin’ my new Ukulele

    Ordering was a snap, it did take about a week to arrive but it’s been worth it. I’ve played it everyday since. I love the warm tone with the low G string and the slightly more room on the fretboard makes it just a bit easier to play. I’m expecting that the sound will only improve with age. Great value in a solid wood tenor ukulele and it looks great too.

    Tenor uke with low G string

    So pleased with my new tenor uke with the low G string. A few days after I received it I played it in a concert with my singing group. Has a lovely rich tone which carried very well from the stage.I showed it to my friend and she has ordered one.
