IMUA iTN Solid Hawaiian Koa Tenor Ukulele Traditional Natural Finish #7104053

Using only the finest cuts of Koa, this uke is made by Japanese master builder Shinji Takahashi and a very highly skilled team to a stratospheric standard on the sunny island of Oahu. Using Japanese construction techniques and values with Hawaiian materials makes for the perfect blend of quality and character.

The wood on these instrument is a wonder to behold. They have managed to source the holy grail of Koa, which is renowned as looking and sounding the best: and they have used beautifully straight grained woods, which make for excellent sound and which open up really beautifully over time. If you think that this sounds amazing when you first try it, in two years time it will be astonishing.

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 traditional in appearance and feel then this is probably your best option. To be fair, the IMUA's don't look for feel out of place next to the standard Kamakas, KoAloha or Kanile'a Ukes we have in store.
