Spruce Top ~ Exotic Rosewood Sides and Back ~ Radius Fretboard ~ Koa Binding ~ Gloss Finish ~ Deluxe Hard Case

Ko'olau ukulele has been making spruce top ukes for nearly twenty years, showing ukulele enthusiasts around the world the tonal possibilities on this unique little instrument. If you have ever seen Benny Chong live you will hear the capabilities of a rosewood/spruce Ko'olau baritone. This flagship to the Pono line is a more affordable version of that Ko'olau deluxe. It has been years getting there but now the craftsmanship and tone are right on par with the finest musical instruments being made. This is an excellent choice for the tone conscious musician looking for a serious sound with depth and clarity in the beautiful baritone voicing.

Pictures and video show same model. Model is stock typical.

Pono only uses solid woods, bone nut and saddle, wood bindings, and no plastics. Pono has a climate-controlled factory on the island of Java and diligently aims for perfection on every level. And it shows. These are professional quality instruments that are good enough for serious musicians (while remaining affordable). This is a new model. It's more comfortable than ever before because of the slight curve of the fretboard, and it looks extra sweet with the new Hawaiian koa binding. 

 This baritone ukulele comes in a very protective wooden shaped hard shell case custom made for it. This is a lifetime ukulele and comes with a case to protect just as long.

Extra Options

One of the options for this ukulele is to trade out the Herco included humidifier for the more expensive Oasis Ukulele Humidifier (OH-18). This is suggested if you live in a low humidity area (parts of California, Nevada, Arizona, etc.) or cold winter area if you are heating the air most of the day and night. For more info see our Ukulele Care link at the bottom of the site

With the purchase of this ukulele, the Pono passive pickup or LR Baggs 5.0 system can be installed.

None of these options are required. You can still create a package with accessories on the site by going to different product pages and adding to cart. This ukulele will automatically come with a Herco HE-360 Humidifier. The options are just for convenience and to offer an extra discount while you buy this instrument.

Aloha!

Setup Options

 

Current Turnaround Time: Amount of time it takes before shipment-

Full Setup: 10-14 Business Days

Basic Quality Control: 2-3 Days

BASIC QUALITY CONTROL covers inspecting the instrument for any major defects that would have been missed by the factory and any faults in construction that could potentially damage or limit the functionality of the instrument over time. Any defective instruments are rejected and replaced.  We make sure that each Ukulele meets the basic standard for a brand new instrument and will be ready to play once you receive it. A final cleanup is also included after inspection before packing and shipment.

Full Setup - FREE for all Ukuleles $399 and over / $20.00 for Ukuleles from $300-399 / $30.00 for Ukuleles Under $300


Includes:


-Overall QC evaluation: To find defects in construction as well as to get an overall view of the instrument and note the areas that need extra attention and adjustment during the setup.

-Saddle Adjustment: The height of the saddle is lowered to reduce the distance between the strings and the fretboard, making it easier to play than the factory setup, especially higher up the fretboard.

-Nut Slot Adjustment: The depth, width, and angle of the nut slots are adjusted to create a more comfortable playing experience especially on the lower frets.

-Fret Dressing: After adjusting the nut and saddle heights, high spots in the fretboard or uneven frets will potentially cause fret buzz, dead spots, or other unwanted problems. The frets are filed to create a more consistent level across the fretboard. We then crown the frets to return their rounded curvature back to the top of each fret creating a clear contact point for each string. We then smooth and polish the frets and condition the fingerboard to bring them back to new condition.

-Final Cleanup: We always do a final overall cleanup of the instrument to make sure it is in new condition and ready to play before it is prepared for shipment.

Rush Setup & Delivery - Additional $50.00
The RUSH SETUP AND DELIVERY service is for customers who would still like to receive everything included in the full setup but on a shorter time frame. One of our setup technicians will work overtime outside of normal business hours to complete the setup within 2-3 days of the order being placed and immediately hand it over to the shipping department for packing and shipment. The $50.00 rush charge is in addition to the cost of the full setup. 

Additional services (see individual product listings to add these services to your order)
Re-stringing: We will replace the factory installed stock string set with a new set of your choosing. Select the “replace stock strings” option when adding your desired string set to the shopping cart.

Strap Button Installation: 1-2 buttons are installed to allow the use of a strap. Color options available. 

Pickup installation: for players who would like the option to play or record with amplification.

Friction Tuner Upgrade (friction tuners only): We offer upgrade options for select instruments with friction tuners to be retrofitted with new geared tuners for better precision and comfort when tuning.
