Ukuleles

Through a sacred inking process, the laser-etched Tattoo design takes its inspiration from Hawaiian body ornamentation. The ancient Polynesian people believed getting inked was a divine course and a bold statement. Patterns and layout were strongly geometric with many shapes and symbols representative of the natural island world: stones, waves, fish, sharks, turtles, rain, sun, birds. This design is primarily based on waves and sharks' teeth which are also echoed as fret markers. Expect warm tone from the all-eastern mahogany concert body and walnut fingerboard. Gigbag included.

Sustainable, solid-topped Breedlove ECO Collection Lu’au S Series myrtlewood ukuleles feature a resonant core tonewood layer of clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of typical tonerobbing softwoods for back and sides. Sharing a Pacific Ocean coastline with Hawaiian koa, native Oregon myrtle has a similar bright ping, but borrows some of mahogany’s depth and warmth for a unique, powerful ukulele presence. Concert ukuleles, developed in the 1920s as a slightly larger cousin to the traditional soprano, are the perfect diminutive musical tool for the hobbyist or the professional. Rich and responsive, this full-shouldered acoustic electric Breedlove Lu’au S Concert uke, with a glamorous Natural Shadow finish, tucks right underneath the arm and sings along to any style.

The Gloss Mahogany line features a high-gloss finish to enhance the simple elegance of the Mahogany woodgrain. The gloss adds a smoothness and sturdiness to the uke and a cream binding ties it all together.
