Model # HP-1
The Soprano (Standard) Pineapple ukulele was invented and patented by Kamaka Hawaii Founder, Sam Kamaka, Sr. in 1928. The round, pineapple shaped body frame created by Sam Sr. is still used today to craft ukulele by luthiers at the Kamaka factory in Honolulu. The unique, pineapple shape of the ukulele contributes to a fuller, slightly deeper and rounder sound than the Soprano figure eight model, with its quintessential higher pitch. This beautiful design was created in Hawaii for Hawaii musicians and music lovers to enjoy during a time when famous ocean liners like the SS Lurline brought visitors to the islands to experience the beauty and aloha that is Hawaii.
Every Kamaka ukulele comes with a free Kamaka-branded ukulele case that was designed specifically for the exact ukulele model to match the instrument’s body size and length. The vinyl-wrapped, plywood hard case features a soft velvet lining that is padded around the back of the instrument with a protective, arched top cover that ensures the instrument fits snugly and securely when closed. The custom ukulele case also features a convenient compartment to hold tuners, polishing cloths and other accessories.
Option Available: Long Neck
