IMUA iTN-ST Solid Spruce/Hawaiian Koa Tenor Ukulele Natural Finish #7104055

These Ukuleles are just fantastic. An excellent combination of Spruce and Koa really is just the most adaptable mixture of sharp and sweet you can get. Imua have painstakingly sourced this Alpine spruce to compliment the already fantastic Koa. Whether you pick or strum, this Uke has warmth in spades but just the right amount of snap when you really lay into the strings that you can bend it to your will and adapt to any style. 

IMUA are the emerging new stars of the Hawaiian Ukulele world. Founded by the man originally behind Big Island/Honu Ukuleles; Jorma Winkler has worldwide links with the finest woods available in the world and in IMUA Ukuleles it really shows. IMUA simply have some of the most gorgeous looking and sounding tonewoods and continue to make them into a comfortable, well built Ukulele to be enjoyed. The Ukulele build designs can be credited to Shinji Takahashi, master luthier from Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan who overseas production in Honolulu. 

If you like the KoAloha Opio but want something just a little bit more reserved in sound and traditional in appearance and feel then this is probably your best option.
