Blackbird Farallon Tenor Ukulele Ekoa Satin Finish Top Dots & Gigbag

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 and soundhole in the headstock enhances projection providing you with unmatched dynamics and the ultimate playing and listening experience.

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 Blackbird - well done.

This beauty features the cost options of a Satin finish and aluminium fretboard top dots. The way that Ekoa is made, by compressing natural linen fibres, can result in some lighter and darker patches under the finish. This is simply because it is made of a natural material, and they are not scratches or cosmetic problems with the finish. Just like you would expect of wood grain, you have these natural areas of light and shade.
