Koolau T1- Hawaiian Ash Tenor Ukulele
Koolau is a custom shop right down the road that makes some of the world’s finest ukes.This is Koolau's most affordable offering for a tenor, and yet it is one of the nicest tenors to stroll through. This is a model we could only dream of always having in stock, but we do take custom orders for Ko'olau and the turn around is usually 2 weeks to 2 months for this model because we always have it on order.
This is available for order in two different Hawaiian woods. Koa and Ash.
Hawaiian Ash
This rare Big Island wood sounds like an old and mellowed mahogany wood. But the ringing sustain in the higher frequencies makes it sound entirely unique. And Beautiful! This particular Ash is "the cream of the crop". The curls will darken with time as it is exposed to light and be accentuated even more. It sounds superb now, I can't even imagine how great the tone will be in 5 years! This is what I would call a wise investment. (Into your musical enjoyment, and into a Professional Hawaiian ukulele that will last many generations.
