About Hawaiian Koa
Hawaiian Koa grows only between the 300 and 7,000-foot elevations on Hawaii’s five major islands (the finest instrument-quality Koa trees grow on the Big Island). Like a precious metal, Koa’s desirability is linked to its relative scarcity, but its aesthetic appeal makes it irresistible to lovers of exotic tonewoods. Koa exhibits a wide range of warm brown hues, often accentuated by exciting grain figure. A hard, dense wood, koa produces a tone somewhere between that of maple and rosewood. This rare and exotic tonewood is prized for its stunning golden hues, bold grain figure, and sweet tone.
