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. 

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.
