New Maton Concert Uke

[kissing]

I've played this one in store... absolutely want one.
The tone is very much alive, looks sleek and comes with a cool case.

And best of all, as an Australian, I would be proud to have an all-Australian uke.

Yum. Reminds me of the beloved Lehua concert that was my first uke. Enjoy!

is the top or back one piece of wood?

Sadly have been unable to source a good supply of Blackwood. Also found it generally to be inferior tone wise to koa. Others may have a different opinion - this is mine for what it is worth and I don't want to get into a spitting match over it. In fact the last Blackwood instrument I built turned out OK.

Pete- Try my former employer- Gilet Guitars
The wood used in the attached pic is from them and they have alot of it.

just bought one today, and very light . i can only compare it with my kala mahogany, and maton got sweeter and more volume and got it for less than $500 incl hard case.

1300cc. You sent me a PM about the Maton ukulele and I posted a reply but I cant for the life of me see it in my outbox. Did you ever get a reply from me? Apologies if you didn't receive a reply. Its a nice ukulele.

Hallo, can someone tell me the measure of the nut of a maton concert? I can't find the mesusre online. The neck and the nut of this concert is wide like kanile'a or kamaka or smaller. Is comfortable?
Thank you.
