The company had some brilliant ideas such as the TunaUke, which allowed players to adjust the intonation of every string at the bridge, and the UkeSB (with Fishman) that allows you to directly record via USB to a computer or iOS device (I have one of these and use it frequently). Lanikai has an interesting history and is no longer owned by Horner the person behind the initial success of Lanikai so many years ago left the company to start his own brand (Mike Upton at Kala). In my part of the world, I cannot find a vendor who carries them any longer! They also distribute Korala, their “entry level” version. They looked promising, and every ukulele came with two strap buttons. Last year, at NAMM 2017, Lanikai literally discontinued every existing model to make a new series.
