This is a tenor size ukulele from Ko'olau, a ukulele manufacturer known as a Hawaiian treasure. The label bears the handwritten signatures of master builders John Kitakis and Noa Bonk.
The body is lavishly made of the highest quality Hawaiian koa, featuring delicate curl and eye-catching white sapwood. Beautiful artificial turquoise is inlaid in the headstock and rosette, and the slotted headstock is equipped with high-precision original Gotoh tuners.
It boasts a rich, sweet, superb tone amidst the overwhelming volume characteristic of a tenor. It is currently set up with Hi-G and clear nylon strings. Equipped with a Mi-Si Acousitc Trio UK pickup, it is very convenient for stage performances.
It's in near-new condition with almost no signs of use, and it's a great bargain at less than half the current new price. An original hard case is included.
