Islander Flamed Maple Concert Ukulele

The Soul of Hawaii, the Beauty of Flamed Maple

The Islander MAPG-4-C represents the pinnacle of the line created by Kanile'a, one of the most prestigious Hawaiian ukulele manufacturers. It's an instrument that captures the eye, with a body made entirely of Flamed Maple, a wood whose three-dimensional grain creates unique plays of light and reflection, enhanced by the high-gloss finish. But the real magic is unseen: this ukulele shares the design DNA of its older Hawaiian siblings for an uncompromising sound experience and quality.

Why Choose the Islander MAPG-4-C?

• A Boutique Design: The aesthetics are breathtaking. The Flamed Maple body is adorned with an elegant Herringbone rosette and purfling, classic details of luxury luthiery. The light maple binding completes a sophisticated and harmonious look.
• Designed by Kanile'a in Hawaii: This is no ordinary ukulele. It's designed by the expert luthiers at Kanile'a and benefits from their innovation, such as the TRU-Bracing system that allows the top to vibrate more freely, increasing volume and sustain.
• Bright and Defined Sound: Maple is a wood that produces an exceptionally clear, bright, and focused sound with great note separation. It's a modern tone perfect for fingerpicking, for solos, and for cutting through the mix in a group setting.
• Professional Quality Components: Every detail is crafted for performance. The Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle ensure optimal sound transfer, while the rosewood bridge with the Kanile'a-style pin system improves stability and sustain.
