The Jazzy Ukuleles from Fanner are an absolute delight. These are easily some of the most exciting ukuleles to hit the Southern Ukulele Store and uke-scene in general for a generation. Available made out of lots of different woods with many creative finishes; I can already tell we are going to have fun with our Fanner deliveries for years to come.
The Jazzy available here is a 17'' scale tenor ukulele with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, traditional block inlays and a venetian cutaway for easy upper fret access. The body is upcycled ash sprayed with a gorgeous 3 tone sunburst. It looks like the ukulele from which 1000 dreams were launched, timeless but so, so adaptable to whatever style of music you want to throw at it.
This 17'' scale tenor electric has a 35mm nut width and a comfortable 12'' fingerboard radius. This model has a single hand scatter wound P90 pickup controlled with a volume and tone control. Everything except the machine-heads and the pickup is made in house by Fanner in Cape Town, South Africa.
The pickup is a handwound P90 with alinico5 magnets which make for a very dynamic and open sound. The pickups are the secret to the Fanner ukes in our opinion as you can achieve any sound and style with more natural expression. If you are a player who uses dynamics when they play; you will 100% notice the difference.
The woodwork is hand-routed, sanded and sprayed in house. Each Fanner ukulele is unique.
