aNueNue's Kyas Whale is the best of the best. It is an exquisite, highly considered instrument that stands head and shoulders above its peers.

Made from private reserve Hawaiian Koa, the Kyas Whale is the epitome of luxury and high-end luthiery. You simply will not find Koa of a higher grade, and never with as much rippling and intricacy as seen here. The tonewood is incredibly rich and honey-hued, breath-taking to look at let alone pick up and play.

The stand out feature of this instrument is the elaborate ornamentation that adorns the body, fretboard, and headstock. aNueNue have chosen the whale as a wisened, majestic creature of the sea to compliment the instrument's grace, intuition, and charm. A collection of humpback whales are inset with mother of pearl. Also of note is the the offset soundhole rosette, which depicts the barrelling and breaking of the ocean surface, gently refracting sunlight, made with a striking combination of maple, rosewood, and azure turquoise stone. Every inch of this instrument is overflowing with detail.

But the beauty of the Kyas Whale goes well below the surface. This ukulele sounds and plays like no other. In classic aNueNue style, it sounds extremely bright and clear, with complex midtones and delicate overtones. The tone is versatile and suited to all styles and types of playing, be it fingerpicking, strumming, or riffing. The intonation is precise, the action masterfully-considered.
