The Harley Benton Kahuna-S Turtle is a soprano ukulele that combines quality tonewoods, a playful design, and a beginner-friendly price tag. Named after the Hawaiian word "Kahuna", often associated with mystery and foresight, this instrument balances tradition with playability, offering an excellent entry point into the world of ukulele playing. Tuned in the traditional G'-C'-E'-A' Hawaiian C6 configuration, the Kahuna-S Turtle delivers a warm and vibrant tone, supported by its mahogany body, okoume neck, and purpleheart fingerboard. With a compact 35mm nut width and 18 frets, it's comfortable to play and ideal for learners of all ages.
The Harley Benton Kahuna-S Turtle’s tonal richness stems from its carefully selected materials: The mahogany body offers warmth and depth, while the okoume neck adds a touch of brightness and clarity. The fingerboard and bridge in turn are crafted from purpleheart - also known as amaranth - a dense and durable wood that delivers a balanced response across the tonal spectrum. Bone is used for both the nut and saddle to optimise string resonance, and the ukulele comes strung with a set of Aquila strings as standard.
Fun, lightweight, and easy to carry, the Harley Benton Kahuna-S Turtle ukulele is a perfect travel companion or casual strumming partner. The decorative wave and turtle motif on the soundboard adds visual flair and invites beachy, feel-good vibes - even on rainy days. Its compact footprint means that it is also easy to pack, and its amazingly affordable price tag means there is no need to worry if it picks up the odd scratch along the way. Whether as a gift or a personal treat, this soprano ukulele brings music to every corner of the journey, without breaking the bank.
