The Rebel - Solid Spruce/Red Cedar & Ebony/Padauk Tenor Ukulele - 'The Particle' #1119_02

The Particle ukulele is part of a limited range of models being produced by The Rebel. Although you might be able to argue that the KoAloha Naupaka has already dabbled in split tops/backs and creating hybrid sounds, even KoAloha can't claim to have taken experimentation to such an extreme, dedicated level.

After producing a range of prototypes in previous years utilising different tonewoods - the model that has the most fanfare is the instrument here now known as the Particle. This ukulele has depth, warmth, crystal clear trebles and a really booming sexy Barry White-esque bass. It's just bloody wonderful and unique...

Instruments with an almost patchwork effect aren't going to be to every players taste but if a massive textural range of sounds is the most important thing about playing Ukulele to you then you should definitely, definitely add this ukulele to your list of must-sees.

The first thing I did after playing the Particle yesterday was email Rebel and tell them I wanted another one put into production for us! It's a great tenor ukulele from a world class up and coming ukulele brand.

This particular model is the only one to have the lighter and slightly cleaner sounding padauk back with ebony sides.
