This is a beautiful I’iwi curly mango tenor in like-new condition for sale. Its signature three sound holes work together to create warm, rich, near guitar-like tones. This mango tenor has a huge warm tone, truly an outstanding sound you have to hear in person. I’iwii ukes are also know for their great playability. This one is exceptionally comfortable with low action and a radiused fretboard.
This instrument features a mortise and tenon joint bolt on neck with a smooth, comfortable slim profile. Other features include a radius fretboard, graphite rod running through the neck, Gotoh UPT tuners, a hand-rubbed gloss finish, and a Beautiful signature I’iwi inlay on the ebony headstock.
I'iwi is among the most highly-regarded custom ukes. Designed and built by Charlie Fukuba, renowned custom luthier and musician on Oahu. This tenor is in like-new condition. Selling to reduce my number of tenor ukes.
