Aloha, Lindsey. The guitar has wonderful clarity. I liked it best when fingerpicked the style of the last tune. Hey, as someone who plays slack key and lived in HI over 20 years, since Martin is honoring the Major, if it is helpful the pronunciation is a bit different. It’s like this: KEALAKAI Kay-ah-lah-kah-ee Cheers and aloha!
