Kanaloa is a budget-oriented ukulele brand imported into the United States by a former Lanikai employee, with instruments built in Indonesia. The lineup focuses on the standard scales — soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone — across model designations such as the KS (soprano), KC (concert) and KT (tenor), with variants distinguished by tonewood (for example, KS-K and KC-K for koa, and KS-P for a sapele pineapple soprano).

Typical Kanaloa builds use laminate koa or sapele tops, backs and sides, nato necks, rosewood fretboards and bridges, sitka spruce bracing, geared tuners, and Aquila strings, and they ship with a thin gig bag. The brand is positioned in the entry-level price tier, with most models sold around $100–$200, and is most often encountered through online marketplaces such as Reverb and eBay rather than a wide dealer network.

Within the ukulele community, Kanaloa is a relatively obscure name compared with the major Hawaiian builders, but owner reports on forums like Ukulele Underground generally describe the workmanship and resonance as strong for the price. The brand takes its name from Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean.
