Frequently Asked Questions
The basswood top will be a bit warmer and less bright than a typical mahogany ukulele; it lacks the sharper highs but offers a pleasant, mellow tone.
Absolutely! Aquila strings are a standard size, so you’ll have no trouble finding replacements from any music store or online retailer.
The smiley face design is part of the finish – it's printed on and cannot be removed without damaging the ukulele's surface.
