Great Pineapple Uke from Lanikai

The Lanikai MA-P is a beautifully crafted traditional pineapple ukulele made from mahogany that delivers classic pineapple-uke tone. The pineapple-body uke was popularized by Samuel Kamaka in the early 1900s. His simple, handcrafted koa ukuleles resembled the shape of a pineapple to many players, so the name stuck and a tradition was born. The MA-P now features a wider nut for a slightly wider neck that makes playing the MA-P more comfortable. A gorgeous rosewood fingerboard offers great response as well, whether you're chording or playing lead. A NuBone nut and saddle also provide tonal support to the already tone-rich mahogany body. This pineapple uke is ideal for living room jams or warm nights on the beach around a fire with friends. Uke enthusiasts here at Sweetwater love the MA-P for its playability and tone.

Lanikai MA-P Pineapple Ukulele Features:

  • All-mahogany ukulele puts out warm and mellow sound
  • Rosewood fingerboard is responsive and playable
  • Comfortable neck is good for a variety of hand sizes
  • Cream binding provides a beautiful contrast to the mahogany body
  • Chrome die-cast tuning machines provide solid support for staying in tune

Good for the big guy.
I'm 6'4" I played guitar for over 50 years, I have a bigger ukulele. But I love the sound of a smaller ukulele. This ukulele is just what I needed. Every thing sounds good.

Beautiful sound and feel
I bought this Ukulele for my wife and she loves it. It fits her comfortably and plays well under her fingers. I play a few chords and I found the sound very warm and pleasant. Also, it stays in tune once the wood gets used to your room. The quality is good and pineapple shape lends a unique look and feel with a robust loud volume. The price brings a certain quality that lower price points will not. My wife has many Ukuleles some expensive and some inexpensive and there is a huge difference in cheaper instruments. This one is a good product.

Lanikai Pineapple
My fourth ukulele and my second Lanikai. My other is the FM-T and it also came from Sweetwater. Both are better instruments than I hoped they'd be.

I started with a concert that had hung in my sister's closet. Then I picked up the tenor FM-T. Somewhere along the way a different soprano found its way into my arsenal. And I was happy. But I kept visiting this pineapple online. I wanted something durable and small that I could tuck into my backpack for a bike ride or to take to work. Plus I just liked the aesthetic. Trusting Lanikai because of my previous purchase and trusting Sweetwater, I settled on this model. I'm glad I did.

I had gotten used to the sound of the EJ88 strings on my tenor so when this one arrived with Aquilas and I got it tuned up, they didn't suit me. Don't get me wrong, I like the brand. I have Aquilas on my concert and they sound fantastic, but for sopranos and the way that I play and pick, the D'addarios are more to my taste. The tuners are solid and decently crafted, the knobs themselves are plastic but they seem solid. The nut and saddle are well-made and better than some I've seen on more expensive intstruments. The binding is real and the rings around the sound hole aren't. They're decals. But on an instrument this small and at this price point, that's nothing to quibble over. All in all, it's got a solid mahogany resonance and tone, with good sustain, especially after the string change. It was surprising to see that it had strap knobs and I probably won't use them but if you bought this for a child, that would be a nice touch to have and be able to use.

Oh, one note. When you restring it, there are two holes for each string rather than one. It comes with the strings run through the right-hand hole, back up over the bridge, down through the left-hand hole, knotted and tucked. When I restrung it, I did it the traditional way with a single loop down through the right-hand hole, over the bridge through the, wrapped back down over the bridge, and tucked, and it worked just fine.
