Frequently Asked Questions
Polycarbonate is stiffer and doesn't vibrate as freely as wood, resulting in a slightly quieter and less resonant tone, but it's surprisingly pleasant for a plastic instrument.
They are functional, but less precise than geared tuners; expect to make minor adjustments more frequently, especially when new.
While playable, it’s best suited for those not seeking the complex overtones and warmth of a traditional wood ukulele; it’s a more ‘modern’ approach to the instrument.
