Custom Kamaka Tenor 6-String 90s Koa Vintage with Hard Case

The 6 string has doubled first and third strings tuned in octaves. Tuning 6 String: G CC E AA - adding an octave higher C string and an octave lower A string. Also known as "the Liliu," the Tenor 6-String was designed by Sam Kamaka Jr. in 1959 to commemorate Hawaii statehood and pay tribute to Hawaii's last reigning monarch, Queen Liliuokalani. In 1978, a Liliu was presented to the White House as Hawaii's Regional Gift.
