Kohola Deluxe Solid Top Six-String Tenor Ukulele

Same chord shapes. A completely different voice.

Six strings on a ukulele changes the sound in a way that surprises most players the first time they hear it. The extra strings create a shimmering, chorus-like richness — a depth and texture that a four-string instrument simply can't produce. Same GCEA tuning, same chord shapes you already know. But the tone is different enough that it feels like picking up a new instrument without having to learn one.

The Kohola Deluxe Six-String Tenor pairs that sound with a solid acacia top — bright, articulate, and responsive, with grain that's unique to every instrument. A slotted headstock keeps the weight balanced with the additional tuning hardware. Arched back, bone nut and saddle, solid rosewood fingerboard. Abalone-style rosette and purfling, maple binding, gold hardware.

For the player whose collection already covers the standard sizes, this is the one that adds a new colour to the palette. A different voice for different songs, different arrangements, different moments. Once you hear what six strings do, it's hard to go back to four for certain songs.

Why this one

• Six-string shimmer. The extra strings add a chorus-like richness and texture you can't get from a four-string instrument. Same tuning, same chords, completely different character.
• Solid acacia top. Bright, articulate, and responsive. Opens up over time the more you play it. Every piece of acacia has its own unique grain.
• Slotted headstock. Designed for balance. The slotted headstock keeps the six-string tenor comfortable and well-weighted despite the additional tuning hardware.
• The appointments. Abalone-style rosette and purfling, maple binding, gold open gear tuners, dual strap pins. Same build standard as the rest of the Kohola series.

What comes with it

• A 5mm padded gig bag.
• The free Honolua Starter Course — the course that has you playing real songs on this one within days of opening the case. Six sections built for someone who has never played, then sixteen play-along songs. Self-paced, lifetime access.
• Five trees and five kelp plants, through our partnership with Greenspark, for every ukulele sold.
