All Solid Hawaiian Koa

Top, back and sides are all solid wood. aNueNue uses wood that has been naturally air dried wood and are season for many years before even being put into production. All our solid woods are used for our high end pieces. All aNueNue’s solid wood pieces require time to open up and will develop an overall distinguished more complex harmonic tone quality.

aNueNue X Luthier Mitsuta

The story and collaboration started when ukulele artist Kyas introduce Luthier Mitsuta to aNueNue. We design the bird ukulele, and Mitsuta design the voiced of Bird ukulele. Mitsuta's Mount Fuji-voiced brace design produces a clear overtone and warm sounding ukulele. His unique design and perfection to work inspire aNueNue team.

Koa from Hawaii

5K Ukulele

Selected 5A Grade Hawaiian Koa


Curly or wavy patterns are rarer and are typically found in the old-growth trees. Figured is also desired and typically milled from areas of the tree where there is the most stress. For example, where the branch forks or twists. Pressure from the weight of the branch and/or stress created by the wind often causes the tree to develop this figuring.

Koa has a tonal quality that musicians seek. It has a midrange focus with extra top-end brightness. As the instrument is played with frequency the tone continues to open up to an even richer, sweeter, and more pleasant resonant tone. That, combined with its aesthetic appeal, Koa has branded itself as one of the best materials for instrument building.
