Kamaka = Koa = Hawaiian
Kamaka Tenor Ukulele
© Frank Ford, 2000; Photos by FF

Founded in 1916, Kamaka is the oldest surviving Hawaiian ukulele factory. Their instruments are deceptively simple, but always consistent in quality. This is a tenor size ukulele made of some mighty fine looking figured koa. It is mounted with a set of Schaller guitar tuners, and has a guitar style bridge. Now standard, both features are an upgrade from previous instruments. If you'd like to see how these instrument are handcrafted, follow me on a field trip to Kamaka.
