Frequently Asked Questions
The Iris BK offers a more premium feel with the solid top and Okoume neck, resulting in a richer tone compared to the all-laminate Songbird, while the Nimbus is a step up in terms of wood quality and overall refinement.
The Okoume neck has a comfortable 'C' shape that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, though it's not a super-thin profile – a good balance for stability and playability.
Absolutely! Standard ukulele string spacing means any common brand of fluorocarbon or nylon strings will fit easily, allowing you to customize the tone to your preference.
