With this unique instrument, one detail immediately catches the eye.
The sound hole decoration, which stands out visually from the top surface, also has a physical aspect. Since this ring expands the inner surface of the sound hole inwards, an effect
similar to that of a "Tornavoz" is created. This element is also often used in bass loudspeakers, where a tube protrudes into the interior of the box and thus optimizes the bass of the
loudspeaker.
In this case it is made from amboina (padouk burl).
The so-called "Tornavoz", which not only results in a special soundhole decoration in this instrument, also promotes the volume and the radiating of the deep tones.
Quilted linden was used for the back/sides of this ukulele, which suits very well with the German spruce as the top material.
The neck was made from alder and the fretboard/bridge were made from cocobolo rosewood.
The body and the neck of the ukulele have been varnished with a satin nitrocellulose varnish.
This has a very nice natural feel and can be held comfortably for a long time. The instrument will be handed over to the future owner in a high-quality case. This has a plaque made from the same wood as the instrument in the case.
