collapse expand iconDescription

Made from an entirely European bell brass body and featuring a 6" hand-spun Continental cone, this Recording King resonator ukulele adds a unique twist to the classic Hawaiian instrument. This rare ukulele model features a mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, Champion-style friction tuners, pearloid headstock overlay and a bell brass coverplate.

These excellent features give the traditional instrument fantastic projection and a bark that is uncommon yet very appealing among ukuleles. 

Case sold separately.
