SKU #454
Introducing the ʻIʻiwi Concert Ukulele Koa. The body is made of a beautiful selection of Hawaiian curly koa. As with all ʻIʻiwi models, this ukulele features an inlay with an ʻiʻiwi (Hawaiian Honeycreeper) bird design using several types of shells for the headstock, with an abalone shell maile shaped inlay around the sound hole. Equipped with Gotohʻs planetary geared tuners, this ukulele is easily tuned while retaining the traditional friction tuner aesthetic. The choice of wood and inlay is something to behold every time you pick up this work of art with a beautifully warm, soft tone to match. Comes with hard foam case.
