We’ve taken our Classic Satin Solid Mahogany and given it a modern update with an even more affordable price. The warm reddish brown of the Solid Mahogany body is framed in clean black binding and black & white purfling. Coupled with a stylish white-black-white rosette pattern—there is no doubt that this is a refined musical instrument.
This ukulele also comes outfitted with a Rosewood fretboard and bridge, D’Addario Titanium Strings, and a smooth closed pore satin finish. Take note, this instrument is for players who understand the sonic characteristics this uke has to offer, and are ready to grow along side it as the solid wood improves even further with time. To quote Acoustic Guitar Forum, “Mahogany starts out good and just gets better as it ages.” Mahogany is a classic traditionally warm sounding wood that many ukulele enthusiasts prefer.
Available in Concert & Tenor.

First, I cannot even see or detect a blemish. This is a beautiful ukulele, and I am glad I "took the chance" on a blemish. I am not an expert player, but teach my students ukulele in school and wanted to have my own for some summer Professional Development. The sound is so nice, and the strings are a huge upgrade from the soprano ukuleles that I have at school.
The instrument came and is beautiful. My blemish was a small chip in the headstock near the tuning peg Instrument sounds beautiful and was an excellent value for a quality instrument that sounds amazing.
