A Soprano Long Neck Pineapple with a Unique Wood Grain and Rich, Lusterous Overtones

This soprano long neck pineapple model features the unique fibrous texture of black palm wood throughout.

The entire instrument, including the body, fingerboard, bridge, and headplate veneer, is made of black palm. The rosette and binding are crafted from curly Hawaiian koa, creating a warm, woody contrast.

The long neck specification allows for excellent playability in the higher positions. Considering the balance between the appearance of the pineapple shape, which is sleek and narrow at the top, and the actual center of gravity, it was ordered with side gear pegs.

Black palm is a fibrous and extremely hard material that is difficult to work with, but its unique sound is truly captivating.
In addition to a sharp, tight tone with a lustrous, resonant sustain, it boasts rich sustain and overtones. This ukulele will develop an even deeper character with consistent playing.
