Here's an unusual bowl back ukulele for your collection!

Construction & Materials

This concert ukulele draws its character from the lute-making tradition, featuring a rounded staved bowl back that gives the instrument its distinctive silhouette. The spruce top is tight-grained and pale, providing a responsive soundboard with natural resonance. The lacewood back and sides display a warm, medium-brown tone with fine figuring. The neck and fretboard are crafted from a complementary dark hardwood, offering a smooth playing surface. The headstock accommodates four chrome tuning machines with pearloid buttons, arranged in a 2+2 configuration for reliable tuning stability.

Sound & Playability

The bowl back construction shapes the instrument's voice in a way that differs noticeably from a flat-back ukulele. Tones are focused and present, with a touch of brightness contributed by the spruce top. The concert scale length suits intermediate and advancing players who want a slightly broader fretboard and fuller projection than a soprano offers. The 4-string configuration tunes to standard GCEA, so any existing ukulele repertoire translates directly. Approximately 15 frets are accessible above the nut, giving a comfortable melodic range for both chord playing and single-note runs.

About This Instrument

Combining the tuning and string count of a concert ukulele with the bowl back body profile of a classical lute, this instrument occupies a genuinely rare category. The ornate carved rosette at the soundhole echoes centuries of lute craft, lending the instrument a visual elegance that complements its musical character. It arrives with a padded gig bag, making it ready to travel. Whether displayed in a collection or played at sessions and gatherings, this ukulele lute offers something distinctly different from standard ukulele offerings.

Care & Maintenance

Store the instrument in the included padded gig bag when not in use, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity fluctuations. Wipe down the strings, fretboard, and body with a dry cloth after each playing session. A light application of lemon oil to the fretboard a few times per year will help preserve the wood. Keep the instrument away from heating vents and air conditioning units to prevent cracking or warping of the spruce top and staved back.
