Frequently Asked Questions
The Sapele top gives it a warmer tone than many maple or laminate models, but it lacks the brighter, more complex sound of higher-end Koa ukes.
They're perfectly serviceable for most players, but be prepared to tune more often than with geared tuners, especially when new.
The arch does contribute to slightly improved projection and a bit more volume compared to a completely flat back.
