Blackbird Farallon Tenor Ukulele 'Ekoa' - MiSi Pickup, Sunburst, Top Dots, Soundport
£2,549.00
£2,124.17
Named for the Islands off the coast of San Francisco, Farallon is the first tenor crafted from Ekoa, a high-performance material made of natural linen fiber and bioresin.
Farallon’s unique soundboard is lighter than wood and tuned for a powerful vintage tone. This ecological composite is structurally superior to vintage old-growth wood, and is temperature and humidity stable. The rugged hollow neck one-piece structure enhances projection providing you with unmatched dynamics and the ultimate playing experience. There is a little soundhole on the headstock as well, to allow the sound resonating around the hollow neck to escape. Very clever!
This beauty resonates quite like no other Ukulele we have ever played. It is clean, crisp with very distinct highs and lows. This instrument sits at the top table with all of the Tenors from other specialist Ukulele manufacturers. You really outdid yourselves here, Blackbird - well done.

Please note that these instruments are made of pressed and moulded natural fibres, some of which can show in random patterns in the finish. They can look a little like scratches, but they are not - they are just like birthmarks from the moulding process. Please do not expect a perfect mirror finish that you might get on a Kanile'a!
