This soprano ukulele features a mountain cherry body and produces a gentle, rounded sound.
Luthier Takanori Hamada worked for a certain electric guitar manufacturer for 12 years, experiencing everything except painting, including design, woodworking, and assembly, and now he uses the skills he developed there to make instruments himself. Previously, the company was called Hamada Guitars Tokyo, but in 2025 the workshop moved to Niigata Prefecture and was rebranded as the Hamagen brand.
Although the body is a little small, it has a deep body, a sense of reverb, and a rich volume. The soft, rounded tone of the mountain cherry wood is rich in flavor. It is expressive whether you play strokes or single melodies. The rosette has a brass dot embedded in an ebony ring, creating a stylish accent.
Although the artist often finishes his instruments with French polish, this model has a urethane finish, making it a cost-effective ukulele.
