I purchased Kanile’a “El Dorado” from you in Mastergrade Koa. My goodness. Just an absolute work of art that sounds phenomenal. Im almost afraid to take it out of the case. 😂
I have been playing since the early 60 ‘s. In my humble opinion both have great natural tone. I personally have my dad’s Kamala tenor (62) and it plays well. For my ears the kamaka as strung is better in finger picking. I do agree with you. I will probably add the Kanalea to my collection.
Last Saturday I bought a Kanale'a from you (Connie) and awaiting delivery. Re your comparison video was fantastic however I believe that you could make a $40 toy Barritone sound good, your playing ability is mind-blowing!
Don't know if it is the strings or not but the Kamaka sounded better to me. (Love my Lanikai also sounds great because I am hearing it live instead of through the computer speakers) Wish I could hear the Kamaka live!
Can a baritone ukuleke be strung with conventional string tuning without compromising the sound, action or instrument? Both are beautiful. The extra width gives a fuller sound but the narrower one is slightly brighter.
Maybe it was the strings, maybe it was specifics of intonation, but I thought the Kamaka sounded much nicer. Clearer tone and a more consistent sound overall
I honestly couldn’t tell much difference in the sound. But, the Kamaka sounded richer to my ear. Visually, I think I preferred the Kamaka. Since I play a classical guitar, I think the transition to a baritone use would “feel” better with the larger Kamaka. Okay, I made my decision…it’s the Kamaka for me….unless the other one is on sale at a huge discount. 😆
Both are nice instruments but the Kanilea has a richer depth of sound. A much wider frequency resonant spectrum. Kamaka is the old, Kanilea is the new and getting newer

Kanile'a sounds warmer and more refined vs. the louder midtones of the Kamaka. Beautiful instruments, I prefer the Kanile'a in this comparison.

The Kamaka sounds warmer and more vintage to me, but I would be very happy with either.

Team Kamaka. Sounds full and clear.

I also have a lanikai baritone and it's a purchase I will never regret!
@@karengrace6890 totally agree. (a lot less expensive too)
First! After a long time! Love from India 😊❤❤❤

Kanile’a for me.

Kanile'a sounds smoother and more mellow.

KAMAKA period!!
Kanilea. Just sounded better.
I love my Kanile'a, but the Kamaka does in fact have me thinking "both." They're different enough to be interesting.
Baritone Rock!
Kamaka has a more mellow sound
