Frequently Asked Questions
No, the artwork is hand-applied and unique to each ukulele, meaning slight variations are to be expected.
The mahogany offers a warmer, more mellow tone; koa tends to be brighter and more articulate – it’s a matter of personal preference.
They are perfectly adequate for most players, but those demanding absolute tuning stability might consider an upgrade to geared tuners.
