A soprano long-neck ukulele with a Jindai Sugi top, it produces a rich, sweet tone and an impressive volume for a soprano.
This instrument is a soprano long-neck ukulele with a rare Jindai Sugi top and Kurogaki back and sides. While retaining the easy playability and light feel of a soprano, it features a 365mm scale, approximately 15mm longer than typical soprano ukuleles. This significantly improves pitch stability in higher positions and provides more fret space, allowing for stress-free performance of complex chord work and ukulele solos.
The top material, Jindai Sugi, is a rare wood that has miraculously slept for over a thousand years underground, in volcanic ash, or in water, without decaying. The long passage of time has given it a unique, subdued grayish-brown color and exquisite grain, creating a one-of-a-kind presence. It is characterized by its sweet and rich sound.
Kurogaki, used for the back and sides, refers to a rare condition in persimmon trees where black, ink-like patterns appear in the grain. Its extremely low occurrence rate has led to its use in the finest craftworks since ancient times. Its hardness contributes to a rich, reverberating sound. Abalone pearl purfling and rosette complete the elegant design, making it an exceptionally high-grade ukulele.
