The 2KT Koa showcases lutherie centered on an emblematic wood: solid Hawaiian koa. Used for the top, back, and sides, it delivers a tone that is both warm and precise, with a natural aesthetic particularly highlighted here by a pronounced flame. The tenor format, longer and wider than a soprano or concert, enhances projection and musical range while remaining lightweight and pleasant for everyday use.
This model is aimed at serious beginners to intermediate players (and beyond) seeking an inspiring tenor ukulele, sensitive to nuances and suited for varied playing styles. Its longer scale length favors precision in arpeggios, fingerstyle playing, and strumming accompaniment, with excellent clarity for pop, folk, light blues, or more harmonized solo arrangements.
Thanks to its construction in solid Hawaiian koa (top, back, and sides), the 2KT Koa offers a clear attack, present midrange, and a natural brightness that deepens over time. The tenor format provides more body and sustain while maintaining good definition, ideal for highlighting voicings and melodies. The compensated Tusq black saddle improves intonation across the entire neck, while the fingerboard and bridge in solid East Indian rosewood contribute to a smooth feel and balanced response.
To respect the instrument's design and intonation, Martin Ukulele 620 strings are recommended. The included gig bag is ideal for protecting the ukulele during transport.
