Sweet uke. I didn't know POC could look like that.

Just got my new Kimo super tenor ukulele in the mail yesterday, and been playing it today. Curly Port Orford Cedar top, curly Black Walnut back and sides, with more specs available below. Definitely a well constructed uke with no imperfections I can observe, super easy to play and loud volume. Setup in low-G which I think this instrument lends itself to. I was looking for something a little less traditional in tonewoods (I have Koa ukes already) and something semi west-coast themed.

I was glad to customize a uke with someone who takes a great deal of pride in his work. It was also a pleasure talking with Hank about the build, including a few phone calls about building and builders and all the fun ukulele things. Definitely recommend him to others who are looking for a custom uke.

Congrats a green field on the build from hank. I was following this specific build on Hank's IG. Great choice in woods (walnut) and love the figured POC. I didn't even know that POC comes like that till your in progress images.

How is the sound guessing really warm with the POC? i was wondering because some have compared it to spruce in tonal qualities. I have a couple Kimo's myself and they are both very different sounding.

Definitely warm but also pretty clear at the same time. I don't think it's as bright as my other spruce uke.
