Lanikai Ukuleles

Bridging the gap between the classic Hawaiian ukulele style and the wants and needs of contemporary players worldwide, Lanikai ukuleles have become leaders in innovation and design. Lanikai's award winning ukuleles promote the absolute joys of making music with wonderful instruments. Lanikai is dedicated to crafting ukuleles that sound like no other, allowing for individual expression whether you’re a casual player, a serious hobbyist, or a professional performer. Lanikai ukes, like most, come in four main sizes: Soprano, which is the smallest and has the highest pitch, concert, which offers rich mid-range tones; Tenor, which features a deep tone and long fret board, and baritone, which produces the lowest uke tones and is actually tuned differently from its counterparts. Each Lanikai ukulele size is unique in tone, so having an idea of which sounds and tones you are interested in will go a long way in helping to determine the right instrument for you.

Once you have an idea of the size of ukulele you want, it really starts to come down to a matter of personal preference. If you’re interested in a Lanikai uke with a cut-away body, check out an option such as the LQA-CCA Quilt Ash Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Ukulele w/Fishman Preamp or the SZW-CCA Solid Zebrawood Concert Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Ukulele. These ukes are also able to plug in to an amp to really expand your sound.

If you’re interested in something a little more traditional, spend some time with the NK-C Natural Koa Concert Ukulele. This Lanikai uke is made of Hawaiian Koa for a seriously authentic island sound. Or, maybe you want to go in the entirely opposite direction and have an instrument that really stands out. If that’s the case, you’ll want to have a look at something like the LBU-C Concert Size Banjolele. Combining the sounds of the banjo and ukulele into something uniquely its own, this instrument can add a lot of character to any live performance or studio recording. Whichever Lanikai uke you choose, you can rest assured you’re getting quality from the Lanikai brand. With experience and a true connection to the rich history of the ukulele, Lanikai has built a reputation for itself that musicians trust.
