The Korena take
The D-1 Pro Series is a tenor ukulele that combines a master-grade Hawaiian koa body and top with Kanileʻa’s Tru-R bracing system. Its D-shaped soundhole is a defining part of the design, while the bracing is described as supporting resonance, projection, sustain, and tonal complexity. The 17-inch-scale neck has a slim, player-friendly profile, a premium-grade rosewood fingerboard, and 20 frets. Premium fluorocarbon strings, compensated bone saddle, ebony bridge, and UV high-gloss finish complete the specified build.
