As I stated in a previous post, I am buying unfinished ukuleles from Asiaand finishing them myself. This all koaconcert is the first of these ukuleles. I put 3 coats of instrument lacquer on the body, neck and head, smoothout the fret ends and assemble the hardware. The sound box, head and neck are well constructed. The sound is what I call typical koa. It is well defined, loud and suited forpicking. The only negative I can find isthe fret board, specifically the ends of the frets. They required re-filing and are not as well finishedas you would expect from a American maker. specs of this ukulele are as follows:
neck: mahogany
Binding: full top and bottom
headplate: acacia koa inlaid Alulu logo
fretboard: rosewood
bridge : rosewood
nut and saddle : bone
string: Italian Aquila strings
Tuner: geared gold surface set with ebony buttons
FRONT, SIDE, BACK BOARDS: SOLID ACACIA KOA
Thebest part about this concert is I can sell it at $120 plus actual shippingcost. And, to answer questions up front,am I making a profit at this price? Answer; absolutely, I don’t sell at a loss.
