A premium concert ukulele made with a top-grade Hawaiian koa body featuring fine curly and sapwood grain, with Hawaiian koa also used for the neck, fretboard, and bridge—a 2020-made pre-owned instrument!
This bell-shaped concert ukulele features a luxurious specification with Hawaiian koa used for the body, neck, fretboard, and bridge. Koa is extremely rare and expensive as a solid wood suitable for use in necks, and is very difficult to obtain.
This instrument, which was received and sold as a special piece in 2020, the first year of Ukulele Day, has now come in as a pre-owned item.
Maple and rosewood are used for the body, neck, and head, with checker binding applied, fully showcasing the craftsmanship of Luthier. There is one dent on the top, but overall it is in very beautiful condition. Its design also combines the atmosphere of old instruments from around the 1920s.
The reverb-like sound produced by the all-koa construction is a one-of-a-kind moving experience. This is highly recommended for those who want to experience what is truly the sound of koa.
