UV Gloss Finish

Ultra-Violet light cured polyester finish technology has been around for nearly 40 years.Its use in the musical instrument industry has gained in popularity with Taylor Guitar paving the way.Currently Kanile`a `Ukulele is the only `ukulele manufacture in Hawai`i that has converted to thisrevolutionary high gloss finish. To achieve a thin protective coat requires a lot of skill, knowledge and patients.Staying true to our goal of providing the finest handcrafted instruments available, we embraced UV and now lead the industry with this revolutionary finish.

One of the many benefits of UV technology is the ability to cure the finish on an instrument without havingto evaporate its Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). This environmentally responsible approach to finishing,combined with a finish that has the ability to expand and contract with the wood along with showcasing thenatural beauty, color and wood grain on the instrument.

The finish is one of the first points noticed by our Kanile`a Family (Kanile`a Owners).This durable, thin, true high gloss finish that was designed specifically for musicalinstruments truly protects the ‘ukulele, yet allows for tonal brilliance,which ultimately sets Kanile`a `Ukulele apart from any other builder.
