Natural Series Tenor Ukulele 10/2020 SOLD
My Natural Series instruments differ from my Select Artist Series instruments. The Natural Series is built with a variety of pieces of wood, often from different trees. They are a showcase for the varieties of koa colors and patterns. They have slotted headstocks and often no body binding except on the neck, which is always bound. They feature my Vintage Nouveau finish instead of a high gloss.The Vintage Nouveau is a satin finish I have developed from a combination of nitrocellulose lacquer and shellac, which highlights the wood without the shiny high gloss of many modern finishes. It is my preferred finish for my Natural Series instruments. All my ukuleles have soundports and come with quality hardshell cases
