Duane Noble made this phenomenal instrument in his workshop in Richland Washington.This is the second harp ukulele we've gotten from Duane and it's just awesome! I really don't think the video or pictures do it justice. The tone is something you've never experienced. Even just playing it as a regular 4 string gives you loads of sustain and overtones that fill the air with a beautiful body of sustain like no other ukulele.

This instrument features beautifully figured mahogany from "The Tree". This is a famous mahogany tree cut in the Honduras’ Chicibul Jungle in 1965. It was huge with a magnificent spiraling bark and loggers knew it would be amazing so they tried to get it out even though it was in a crazy part of the jungle. But they couldn't get it out. It fell down a ravine. Other people came and tried and no one could get it out for 18 years. As you know, it did have amazing figure but it also has more density and properties of rosewood in its tone as well. Because of this, and it's scarcity, it became the most sought after wood for custom guitars for years there. I don't believe much is still around but obviously, Duane got this gorgeous set and it really does make for a beautiful instrument in look and tone.

A good deal of the tone, of course, comes from the soundboard and this one has a wonderful tight grain redwood top. Redwood is known for being responsive to a light touch, as well as a warm, full sound right off the bat. This ukulele has those qualities along with a presence and projection you rarely find.

Take a listen as Corey goes over some of the features and gives us a raw sound sample. Use quality headphones or speakers for most accurate listening and enjoy listening to this superb Duane Noble Harp ukulele.

The body is bound in ebony and, as you can see, it includes the ultra-smooth arm bevel. Other ebony accents match this look and gorgeous abalone and wood rosettes circle the two sound holes. This is all protected with a wonderful gloss lacquer finish for a truly professional build that will blow your mind.

This world-class instrument is unparalleled in both its tone and the truly impressive craftsmanship. A real gem and an inspiration to any musician.

Congratulations to whoever gets this one-of-a-kind incredible ukulele!

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.
