Custom Kamaka Tiple Ukulele

 
カマカ・テナー・ウクレレ
 
Stunning 1970s Custom Kamaka Tiple (10-string) Ukulele handcrafted by Samuel Kamaka himself some forty odd years ago. The piece remains in beautifully refinished condition.

Great player ukulele and constructed of gorgeous Hawaiian Koa wood. Beautiful Koa face, back, and sides with gorgeous black vertical striping. Koa fretboard and bridge, top and back binding, and gorgeous Koa rosette.

Tiple ukuleles are not production made instruments but full custom pieces and were only ordered by local musicians here in Hawaii. These instruments are also closely connected with the hula communities and Hawaiian music and are considered to be more accompanying instruments rather than soloist pieces.

Kamaka tiples are truly wonderful historic instruments that is tremendously difficult to find.  Now you can own a piece of history from Hawaii’s most famous luthier, Samuel Kamaka.
