Model # HF-2 Kukui
Kamaka Hawaii has been the worldwide symbol of Hawaiian craftsmanship and musical excellence. With the new Kukui Concert Ukulele, we proudly continue that legacy while opening the door for even more to experience the joy of owning and playing a Kamaka ukulele.
The Kukui is designed for every kind of player—the first-time learner discovering their sound, the classroom full of students, and the seasoned musician looking for a dependable, affordable instrument made with the same handcrafted excellence as every Kamaka ukulele. It blends the care of heritage with the accessibility of modern design—an instrument that feels welcoming in your hands and sings with every strum.
Named after the kukui tree, a Hawaiian symbol of light, knowledge, and connection, the Kukui Concert Ukulele reflects our belief that music is a universal language. From Hawaii to homes and classrooms around the world, the Kukui inspires creativity, builds community, and carries the spirit of aloha wherever it goes. More than just an instrument, the ukulele brings people together. Whether played on stage, shared among friends, or enjoyed in quiet moments at home, the Kukui ukulele is our way of passing on that joy to the next generation of musicians across the globe.
With the Kukui ukulele, Kamaka Hawaii reaffirms its dedication to heritage, innovation, and connection—celebrating where we come from while embracing where music takes us next.
The Kukui Concert Ukulele is Kamaka’s modern introductory model, crafted with the same dedication to quality that has defined our instruments for generations. By combining sustainable materials with innovative manufacturing techniques, we’ve built an ukulele that meets our high standards while making a Kamaka ukulele more accessible to players everywhere.
Featuring:
- A Koa soundboard that delivers the signature Kamaka tone—warm, bright, and unmistakably Hawaiian.
- An African mahogany back and side, precisely shaped using advanced production methods, that add strength and balance while allowing for efficient assembly. This blend of materials ensures the instrument is both durable and true to our signature sound.
- An African mahogany neck paired with a Koa fretboard and bridge, precision-cut for accuracy, comfort, and long-lasting playability. These components create the familiar all-Koa appearance that has defined Kamaka instruments for decades.
- A traditional semi-gloss lacquer finish that offers durability for everyday use while preserving the classic, professional look of a Kamaka.
- An ebony inlaid KK logo, black position markers on the fretboard, and black Tusq nut and saddle. These touches distinguish the model with a clean, modern look while maintaining the quality materials expected of Kamaka.
For the past 100 years, Kamaka has built ukuleles guided by family, tradition, and a commitment to uncompromising quality. The Kukui ukulele continues that story—crafted to our standards, carrying the spirit of Hawaii, and made to be shared with the world. As we look to the future, we remain devoted to nurturing the next generation of players, families, and communities who will carry this tradition forward.
Let us share the light. Let them play.
