L.Luthier Le Koa Tenor Electro Ukulele All Solid Formosan Koa in gigbag #1
I am scratching my head here trying to remember when I had to describe such a good value for money tenor ukulele. L.Luthier are a Malaysian brand, which manufactures their instruments in China, made to an extremely high standard that defies the price.
This one, the Le Koa, is made of top quality wood - sweet and crispy all solid Formosan koa (Pacific Island acacia). This tenor ukulele would take a low G string really well, and we would recommend the Fremont squeakless string as being the best bet. But, high G sounds really good as well; strumming sounds just how you would want, with good note definition in chords and pretty harmonics in that nice decay, and picked passages sound lively and well defined, with plenty of volume on offer with very little effort. The intonation is really very good indeed, and will allow playing accurately in any position.
The choice of wood only really goes so far towards the performance of any instrument. It would have been easy for this uke to be overbuilt and quiet, but it is the opposite. A lot of credit has to go to the builders and designers at L.Luthier, who have made a brilliant instrument, which has both style and substance.
The pickup system is extremely capable too. With any piezo/mic blend system, you will find that mixing in too much of the mic can lead to distortion, but mix in around 1/3 and it adds a depth and realism to your sound which is just gorgeous.
Highly recommended! Pictures show actual instrument you will receive.
