Outstanding Looks, Playability, and Tone!
Top, back, and sides of triple-matched, gloriously figured maple laminate give the Lanikai Quilted Maple Concert A/E Ukulele a deluxe tone and exotic good looks — all with the quick-gigging convenience that Lanikai’s premiere acoustic-electric ukuleles are known for. You get the same wide, comfortable neck profile, upgraded NuBone XB nut and saddle, lightweight open-back tuners, and Quick-Tie bridge that have helped make Lanikai ukuleles a household name among players in the know, plus a deep cutaway body design that gives you effortless access to the highest frets. This result is a great-playing, high-performance concert uke that’ll attract attention hanging on your studio wall or slung over your shoulder. The Fishman Kula pickup system gives this uke stage-ready amplified tones. Adding value are the D’Addario strings and Lanikai padded gig bag. Looking for a comfortable instrument that stands alone in a performance setting? Check out the Lanikai Quilted Maple Concert A/E Ukulele from Sweetwater.
The concert uke: considered by many to be the perfect size
The concert (alto) ukulele — one size larger than the original soprano — was introduced in the 1920s as an “enhanced” soprano, sporting a louder, deeper tone with more body and richness. You’ll find — much to your delight — that this easy-to-play instrument delivers impressive volume for its diminutive size, along with deliciously warm and clear ukulele tone.
Fishman Kula electronics
Lanikai partnered with pickup legends at Fishman to bring its Quilted Maple Concert A/E a stellar plugged-in tone. Fishman’s onboard Kula preamp gives you three bands of tone-shaping EQ, a tuner, and surface-mounted battery compartment, putting all the necessary tools of performance right at your fingertips. The Kula pickup isn’t just a miniaturized guitar pickup, it’s designed to bring out the naturally bright and full sound of your uke, whether you plug into an acoustic guitar amp or go directly into PA.
