It features rare Hawaiian mahogany back and sides.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Koichitani Ukulele is made by Yoshihiro Furuichi, who has a workshop in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e It is loved by Hawaiian musicians both in Japan and abroad, and many musicians use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e It has been featured in many magazines, including Ukulele Magazine, but since not many are produced, it is a ukulele that is rarely seen by the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n This is a show model created to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Ukulele Bard. It's a tenor-sized instrument, with a body crafted from high-grade Hawaiian mahogany. This wood, rare from the Big Island of Hawaii, produces a light, warm sound. The red cedar top has been seasoned over decades, resulting in a clear, mellow tone reminiscent of a vintage instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\n Shellac (French polish) is used for the finish. Shellac is a method that has long been used to paint musical instruments, but because it is extremely time-consuming, it is now only used for high-end instruments such as handmade violins and classical guitars. It is said that this allows the wood to breathe, improving the sound. This also shows that a lot of time and effort has been spared in the production of this instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\n The head logo with a hula dancer motif and the position mark with a honu design are made of mother-of-pearl, which are beautiful and attractive. The rosette is made of abalone pearl, but it is highly colorful, with a strong blue sparkle, giving it a very elegant shine.\n\u003cp\u003e Size: Tenor Top: Red Cedar Sides\/Back: Hawaiian Mahogany Neck: Honduran Mahogany Fingerboard: Honduran Rosewood (R Fingerboard)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge: Honduras Rosewood Tuners: Gotoh UPT Gold Rosette: Abalone Binding: Hawaiian White Curly Koa Nut Width: 36mm\u003cbr\u003e Scale: 430mm\u003cbr\u003e Paint finish: French polish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Sales price: ¥280,000 (excluding tax)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Semi-hard case included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koichitani Ukulele","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51679018418487,"sku":null,"price":308000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/9238\/7895\/files\/1365968b9d864a860a403c81f267ea1e.jpg?v=1770873063","url":"https:\/\/ukulelebird.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/koichitani-ukkulele-tenor-hawaiian-mahogany","provider":"Ukulele Bird （株式会社ラストギター）","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
