I recently wanted to experiment with other instruments. Tried this one and I'm hooked instantly! This is a cocobolo ukulele. Solid cocobolos back, sides, top, fingerboard and the headstock overlay. Everything is cocobolo. The grain looks very interesting, it got me so intrigued that I am ordering another tenor size, this time with a more fancy rosette and binding all around. I'm loving the warm mellow tone of this little fella !
