2018 Kamaka HF-3 Tenor Ukulele – Used

This Kamaka HF-3 tenor ukulele was made in Hawaii in 2018 and it’s in excellent structural condition. Apart from the addition of a strap button, it’s all-original. The HF-3 is our best-selling Kamaka, hands down. We think this model’s versatility is part of the reason. It sounds great with the traditional “my dog has fleas” tuning but it also works well with the Low G tuning, as well.

Thanks to the longer scale, the frets on a tenor uke are a little further apart, so complex chords are easier to finger as there’s more room, making tenor uke the most popular switch for guitar players. It’s simple, if you play any fretted instrument, or if you’re just starting to, you’ll find a use for a fine-sounding tenor like this one. The Kamaka tenor is the does-anything-and-does-it-well ukulele.

Like all Kamaka instruments, the HF-3 is impeccably crafted. The top, back and sides are nicely figured Hawaiian koa and they have a thin satin-sheen finish. This shows the koa grain and color to advantage and is yet another example of how the Kamaka crew keeps raising the bar and making their ukuleles even better. Includes a Kamaka hardshell case.
