The Classic
Great note distinction & excellent sustain
Deep, rich Mya-Moe tone you expect
Available in Soprano, Super Soprano, Concert, Tenor and Baritone size
Solid wood construction in any combination for unique personality in aesthetics & voice
As with any stringed instrument, the key design challenge is to balance durability with voice—too stout construction and the voice will be choked; not stout enough and the instrument will literally fall-apart over time.
For the Classic, the design elements revolve around the bracing and wall thickness (primarily the top & back). We tested both ends of the spectrum—over-building and under-building—in order to find the perfect middle ground. To optimize the voice, it is imperitive that we maximize the amount of string energy that reaches the bridge. For this reason, we inlay a graphite rod into the neck.
The hand-shaped neck, radiused fretboard, meticulously leveled frets, and individually 
dressed fret ends make this instrument a player's dream. Peghed-brand geared tuners are standard on all concerts and sopranos. These tuners look like vintage, ebony friction tuners, but they feature internal gears for a 4:1 ratio. The best of all worlds!
The result is a ukulele that will deliver a wonderful voice while opening up significantly over time. It will last a lifetime.
The tenor and baritone versions are also available in a cutaway. For more information, visit Design Philosophy. For other features, see our Options & Pricing Page.
