The Tenor 6-String ukulele is a favorite among Kumu Hula (hula instructors) and musicians who play Hawaiian music because of its full, melodic sound that resonates beautiful high and low pitches brought out by strumming. The ukulele features doubled first and third strings tuned in octaves. Also known as the “Liliu,” the Tenor 6-String was designed by Sam Kamaka, Jr. in 1959 to commemorate Hawaii statehood and as a tribute to Hawaii’s last reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani. In 1978, the Liliu was presented to the United States White House as a regional gift from Hawaii.
Since 1916, Kamaka Hawaii, Inc. has prided itself on producing only ukuleles of the finest quality — durable, exquisite instruments that improve with age. Like the ukuleles, the company itself continues to withstand the test of time. The company’s longevity shows its commitment to both customer and employee alike, and reflects other important values as well.
