For sale is a wonderful classical tenor by Luis Feu de Mesquita. Named “Dulcinea” by Luis, this uke is a “Spanish Guitar” variant of the Ukaferri family. It features a beautiful mosaic rosette with a fish motif on a Carpathian Spruce top, with the tested-and-true East Indian Rosewood back and sides. It also has a custom special carved head stock, two birds facing each other. Dulcinea is lovely, with no scratches, dents or dings and is in like new condition, and sounds terrific. I have two LFdM tenors so I think that I can part with one in my efforts to reduce my collection.
- Carpathian Spruce Top
- East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides
- Spanish Cedar Neck
- Ebony Fretboard
- Ebony Bridge
- RW ? Bindings
- Grover Tuners
- Beautiful Marquetry Rosette
- Matching colored purflings on top, sides
- Lattice bracing
- Kala Tweed Hardcase
Dulcinea's sound is as beautiful as her looks. Her tone is warm, resonant, and very projecting with much volume. She is currently strung in low g with a combination of strings (SC wound g, D’ Addario wound c, and Oasis bright trebles). I keep her in B or B-flat tuning.
