NUD! My first Ukulele! Cocobolo Ukulele

[icy_wind500]

I recently wanted to experiment with other instruments. Tried this one and I'm hooked instantly! This is a cocobolo ukulele. Solid cocobolos back, sides, top, fingerboard and the headstock overlay. Everything is cocobolo. The grain looks very interesting, it got me so intrigued that I am ordering another tenor size, this time with a more fancy rosette and binding all around. I'm loving the warm mellow tone of this little fella !

Beautiful uke. If it sounds half and nice as it looks I'm sure you are a happy camper.

Agreed! Where did you get it and do they make a Baritone?

WOW! Beautiful instrument. I didn't know they used rosewood for the tops of ukes. Enjoy your new instrument!

[Dru Edwards]

Double Wow, Icy! That's a beauty. Make sure you just don't look at it but play it too

They are a small company starting out and I believe they only offer concert and tenor size at the moment. But the craftsmanship is unbelievable at that price point! And Kelvin at cocobolo ukulele is a great guy to deal with!

"At that price point". Now, you've got me asking another question. . What would that be, if you don't mind sharing?

It really does look very nice. Congrats again.

I wish they did a baritone. (Maybe it's good they don't or if be calling them now)

Very cool.

Nice case and thanks for the link.

I'm gonna wait and see if they come out with a baritone. That and I have something else inbound and probably ought to wait for that before something else with strings shows up at my house.

Beautiful instrument! That wood has got a lot going on. Didn't know where to look first. :-)

Just got my first uke a week ago myself. Mine's a Lanikai concert size made of Koa. It's sort of on the high end of low end ukes. I wanted something that was good enough that it would at least sound decent and intonate properly. It fits the bill, but I can already see a better uke in my future.

Ukes are a blast, aren't they?
