This is a tenor Koolau T1 Hawaiian Ula wood top back and sides. Very rarely seen on ukes, I have not seen another one like it. Made by Noa Bonk in Hawaii.
The uke is in impeccable condition with a few minor strumming Mark on the soundhole area.
Price: $800 PayPal and free shipping In the USA.
More info about Ula wood from the Koolau website:
Ula – “Toona Australis” Australian Red Cedar, also called Toon or Indian Mahogany. Harvested on the Big Island of Hawaii. Rich reddish-brown in color, thus named ‘Ula, the Hawaiian word for red. In the past it was nicknamed “Red Gold” due to it’s highly valued wookworking properties. Grain patterns are not exceptionally dramatic, but tonal properties are amongst the best of all tone woods. Similar to mahogany in weight and density at 28 lb/ft and density is .35 specific gravity.
