A concert-sized pineapple-shaped ukulele made from Hawaiian koa, with a superb sound!
Shigensha, an ukulele workshop, is a private workshop run by maker Tetsuo Tozawa, who lived in Hawaii and produces about 50 instruments a year in Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. He learned ukulele making from ukulele maker Michael Chock in Honolulu.
This instrument is a concert-sized pineapple-shaped ukulele with a Hawaiian koa body, made to our specifications. During the production process, when thinning the top plate, a black knot became prominent, so we received a special discount. Since this does not affect the sound at all, it is an excellent value.
The rosette and binding are made of mother-of-pearl, and the head logo is also inlaid with mother-of-pearl, making it very beautiful. The Honduran rosewood for the fretboard and bridge also adds a touch of luxury.
The volume of chord tones for strumming and arpeggios is excellent, making it very pleasant to play for singing and playing. The single notes also have good strength, so solos are, of course, also possible. Concert-sized pineapple shapes are rare, so we encourage anyone looking for one to try this out.
