Frequently Asked Questions
The hibiscus motif is printed onto the top, not inlaid. It's a decorative design applied during the finishing process.
The solid mahogany top provides a richer, more resonant tone than a laminate top, with more complex overtones and sustain.
The soprano size and relatively thin neck make it manageable for smaller hands, although the 18 frets can feel a little crowded compared to larger ukes.
