This uke was made by Steve Evans of Beltona while still located in New Zealand. These fiberglass ukes are 2/3 the weight of most metal resonator ukes. Steve uses a much lighter cone which together with the fiberglass, produces a very fine tone and projects a volume that will compete with other instruments...all without being amplified. It is also the ultimate small travel uke since it is mostly made of fiberglass and aluminum.
The fiberglass is finished off in a tough high gloss automotive finish which is easily wiped off after each playing, keeping the uke always looking very sharp. This uke is in VG+ condition less one tiny small sliver in the wood finish where the neck joins the body. The wood and finish is still attached...it just needs to be re-glued in underneath and touched up on the finish. It doesn't bother me, however this is totally cosmetic and can easily be repaired by a luthier for about $35.00.
Plays nice and easy and sounds really great... whether strummed or finger-picked, aggressively loud or softly played. 1/3 the price of a National metal body resonator uke! Comes with a concert size foam-shell case.
