Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar generally produces a warmer, more mellow tone than mahogany, which can be perceived as softer and more rounded.
The 38mm nut width is on the wider side for a ukulele, providing more string spacing that some players with larger hands might find more comfortable.
The matte finish looks nice but lacks the protection of a gloss finish; expect to wipe it down occasionally to remove fingerprints and be mindful of abrasive materials.
