Solid Koa Pineapple Tenor Ukulele with Hardwood Inlays

A beautiful tenor sized solid Koa ukulele with hardwood inlays, Paduak bindings, a Rosewood arm bevel, Rosewood bridge and fretboard, freatboard inlay and a headstock featuring a hardwood inlay. A side sound Port adds dimension to what you hear as you are playing this ukulele.

Strung with Worth Brown Low-G Fluorocarbon strings for great tone, this ukulele produces nice projection and has excellent sustain. The sound is mellow yet bold with rich bass and sweet tenor tones.

Finished in a mirror gloss French Polish this instrument will make a wonderful addition to you music making collection.

Note: the top sound hole is slightly off center to the strings on this ukulele. If perfect symmetry is important to you, this may not be the ukulele for you. Check the photos carefully before you order.

Special "no surprises' note: This ukulele has a 'through the body" string connection at the bridge. Through the body offers several advantages to the more common "tied bridge". It is more modern looking, it is stronger against the high tension of the strings and it produces better sound transfer to the top. However, it is just a tad more difficult to change the strings until you are used to it.

I use a straightened out paper clip with a small hook at the end to 'snag' the strings after I insert them through the top. Then pull the end of the string through the top sound hole. After tying a small bead to the string I pull the string through the bridge until the bead is under the bridge. While this feels a bit strange the first time you do it, it really is not difficult. You can find several Youtube videos on replacing through the bridge strings to give you a better idea of what is involved with changing the strings.
