And

It’s hard not to like the sound of Koa and with this much curl easy on the eye.  This instrument should do well with most arrangements and playing styles with good mid-range and ample high’s and low’s.  Some more reflective woods will be a bit brighter while lower density woods may provide more low’s but this one seems to be pretty well balanced.  Go Canada, go Curly Koa Curly Maple Tenor Ukulele.
