Ray Vincent Birch/Spruce Top Curly Maple Back Chambered Electro Tenor Ukulele w/gigbag #RFB41

An experimental instrument builder, Ray Vincent Hails from Ontario, Canada. He has been on a lifelong sonic journey, weaving and intertwining music, art, and design to create truly unique instruments.

Drawing inspiration from the sound qualities of the nautilus shell and the captivating form of the Fibonacci spiral, this birch burl spiral and lutz spruce top tenor ukulele is unlike anything we have seen before. The chambered body offers an acoustic sound, but this ukulele really comes into its own when you plug it in with a powerful artec pickup system with the volume control at the centre of the spiral.

Ray has poured thoughtful design into even the smallest aspects of this gorgeous tenor. At first glance the striking design is captivating, but dig a little deeper and you'll discover maple branch fret markers, a pinecone inlay in headstock, roasted maple tuner knobs and silver side fret markers, and that's before you've even tuned it over. The back is a beautifully stained curly maple that pops!

If you are looking for a truly unique ukulele with some real heart and soul that has a story and the sound to back it up then this Ray Vincent could be for you. You can hear a sound sample provided by the man himself below.
