This is a fully Handmade Concert Ukulele, carefully designed and constructed. The sound is beautiful, very resonant and full bodied. Our ukes are all solid wood, the body is made of Palo Escrito (Mexican Rosewood), the neck is made of Red Cedar, and the fretboard is made of Granadillo. We use open tuners, and the strings are tied. Please have in mind that the woods and wood patterns may vary from those of the many pictures to the actual ukulele you order, we use a variety of pictures to give you an idea of the design and the different wood patterns it could have. So make your order and welcome your new beautiful Uke into your life! We are sure that you will love this fabulous instrument! We will do our best to send your ukulele as fast as we can!!!! And thank you enormously for your patience! It will come for sure!
