Frequently Asked Questions
The basswood construction yields a mellower, less bright tone than Koa, lacking the characteristic 'zing' but offering a more rounded sound.
The retro-style tuners are surprisingly decent for the price point and generally hold tune well, but a serious player might eventually seek upgrades for finer adjustments.
The 348mm scale is standard for soprano ukuleles; those with larger hands might find it a little cramped, but manageable.
