Frequently Asked Questions

The open headstock design is simpler, but less precise than geared tuners, so expect to make minor tuning adjustments more frequently.
The Jabon neck is relatively slim, which should be comfortable for most hand sizes, but it's not as wide as some other concert ukes.
The construction is adequate for casual use and travel with a gig bag, but it's not built for heavy gigging or extreme conditions.
