Big Island Honu KX-TRG Solid Curly Koa Deluxe Tenor Ukulele #230198

Special Price £999.00 £832.50 Regular Price £1,120.00

I think you'll agree that the Koa is exceptional on this model - huge, deep curl and figuring to the wood, and the gloss really heightens the effect and makes it pop. The Honu (turtle) headstock and bridge just add so much to the exotic look of this beautiful uke.

The sound is powerful and sounds very Kanile'a like with the Aquila Super Nylgut strings although a set of Fluorocarbons would really ramp this bad boy into 5th gear. The perfect Uke for someone truly appreciative of the nice clarity and warmth that you can get from good Koa, and who wants to save hundreds of pounds on the price of an equivalently specced model which is made on Hawaii.

In the hand you notice just how ergonomically designed the neck is, really slim profile, and easy to play for easy fretting of even the most troublesome Eb minor 9th. The nut width at 35mm and string spacing of 28mm is standard, and will feel very familar to most players.
