Kamaka HP-1L Solid Koa Pineapple Soprano Long Neck Ukulele w/Case - Made in Hawaii

The Kamaka HP-1L Soprano Pineapple Long Neck Ukulele is a beautifully crafted instrument that embodies both Hawaiian tradition and refined luthiery. Built from solid Hawaiian koa, its warm, richly figured wood gives the ukulele a naturally resonant voice with a sweet, rounded tonal character. The distinctive pineapple-shaped body—an iconic design first introduced by Kamaka in 1928—enhances projection and produces a fuller, more mellow sound than a traditional figure-eight soprano, while still retaining the bright charm associated with the instrument.

The “L” designation signifies its long neck, which extends the scale length and adds extra frets, offering players greater range and a slightly roomier feel without sacrificing the compact soprano body. This combination makes it especially appealing to musicians who love the classic soprano tone but want improved playability and versatility. Fine details such as a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and a glossy nitrocellulose finish reflect Kamaka’s century-long commitment to craftsmanship, resulting in an instrument that is as visually elegant as it is musically expressive.

Overall, the Kamaka HP-1L pineapple soprano ukulele delivers a timeless blend of heritage, tone, and artistry—an instrument that feels equally at home in traditional Hawaiian music or modern performance, and one that carries with it the unmistakable spirit of the islands.
