Koa Two Knot Sound Hole Tenor Ukulele

Stunning .... This Tenor Ukulele is made of all Koa Top, Back and Sides with a Koa Veneer on the head stock. Two live-edge knot holes form the sound ports on the top. The bindings, arm bevel and fret board are rosewood. Worth Brown Low-G Fluorocarbon strings and Guykar sealed geared tuners help insure a beautiful sound to match the fantastic visual of the dark grained Koa.

The sound is deep and mellow with great projection and a long sustain.

To better protect your new ukulele and help keep it looking great for years this instrument is finished in a gloss polyurethane finish which is very hard. It will make a wonderful addition to you music making collection.

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.
