One of the last Backpackers ever made, and one of the last he was willing to export out of his country. Great little uke, my hands are just too huge to get much use out of it. Comes with the padded sleeve case it came with. The uke has a pickup but I have never used it so can't comment on how that sounds. If you are looking for an awesome little travel uke, that is as unique as it gets, look no further than this little guy.

Here is his description of the woods used and where they came from: The Kohekohe came from a farm just down the road from me. It was milled 13 years ago by an old guy I recently met, who was kind enough to part with some.
The Puriri came from the Victoria valley in Northland. It was a very large tree which was hit by lightening about 50 years ago, and was brought down some time later. The same old guy gave me a couple of small slabs he's been keeping in his shed for many years.
The Rewarewa was given to me by a friend living in Hunterville. He renovated a house and the attached shed. This Rewarewa was from a beam holding up a workbench.
