Wow! These are stunning instruments!! I love them all but I'm particularly taken by the redwood. I'm sure they would sound great in high G but it seems like it would be a crime to take off that low G. They sound wonderful.
That redwood top has a great impact on the sound. BTW I got angry, but not at you. It's amazing how a good piece of wood can go this way or... well... a terribly heavy, poorly finished instrument (long story). You're very lucky to get the cahnce to try these instruments. They are all amazing.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore fair enough. I thought I was self limiting myself by sticking to one brand and saying I would only buy models with different wood. Then Kanile'a say, what's that, you don't have redwood? 😁
Hi Alex, This was a nice video and these are nice ukuleles. I prefer the sinker models. If the sinker wood is indeed from South America it is not sinker Redwood and should not be called sinker Redwood any more then Acacia can be called Koa. Redwood trees only grow in the Pacific Northwest. If the sinker wood is from South America it is Probably Alerce. Alerce is very similar to Redwood. Alerce only grows in the Andes of Southern Chile and Argentina. They are different trees and should be properly identified when used on instruments just as Koa and Acacia should be properly identified when used on instruments.
I think Alex got South America from his interview with Joe Souza. The sinker Redwood was sourced from the Columbia River which is not in Columbia, but in the Pacific Northwest region of the USA.
That is exactly what happened... thanks for figuring that out for me. I don't get everything right, I don't sit and write a script but just do it all off the top of me head so occasional stuff like this is going to happen. 🤠
I like the fullness of low G, but I don't like the way it dominates the sound even on these magnificent instruments. And the unwound versions are terrible and rubber bandy to my ears. Is there a low G I should try that overcomes these tendencies . . . a flat wound maybe?
Not really. The silverwound ones are less overpowering than the ones in this video but this particular uke is practically designed to really show off that lower register.
Another fabulous crop of Kanile ukes . I have fallen in love again this is happening so often a feel the need to share like an AA meeting , I am a uke Tart . Is there any hope

Thank you for your help, these are such beautiful instruments; Kanilea is an amazing awesome company!
Just...wow. Especially the redwood ST.
Gorgeous - all of them. But IMHO you just can't beat a Kanilea koa uke!

Unbelievable! 😍🤤
I'm so tempted by the tenor redwood model...can't do it....mustn't do it!
I totally get it. Phil said the same thing when he was recording the demo of the redwood super tenor.
@@SouthernUkuleleStore any wriggle room on the price? ;)
They are priced very well considering already. The exchange rate is good too... When we ordered them I was expecting them to be £3k retail.

In your defense - you really have tried to collect the whole set!
Love These... !
Stunning ukuleles. Are the premium the most expensive versions? So a deluxe would be slightly cheaper?
Yes but only about £100 on average.
Amazing sound from all of these, but that DR ST is going to be hard to get off my mind.
Gorgeous instruments !!... Alex, you are a devil. Oh well, I'm a lefty too, hopefully. 😄
🤤🤤🤤

That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.

Just a massive wow...wonderful. Luckily they didn’t pair back the sound!
Oh my gosh Alex, I am drooling, why are you torturing me, lol,😂!!

What low G string is on this Alex?
GHS phosphor bronze. Most similar to a D'addario BEB031W
@@SouthernUkuleleStore has a nice sound 👍
