Solid Wood Tops

Along with its body shape, a ukulele’s top is the defining element ofits sound, driving, through its vibration, the key aspects of volume,tone, sustain and projection. Spruce will, due in part to its famousstiffness-to-weight ratio, ring loud and clear. A solid wood toptranslates those vibrations with more immediacy and purity of tone, andreacts more directly with the intent of a player. If you are at anintermediate level or above, you will appreciate the instantlyrecognizable benefits of a solid wood top.

MYRTLEWOOD

Popularized by Breedlove, myrtlewood, from the windblown Oregoncoast, combines the best elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple—richbass, warm midrange and clear, bright trebles—for truly versatileguitars. Each sonically distinct instrument is individualized by thegnarled, wildly varied, but always arresting grain patterns.

 

CONCERT BODY

Slightly larger than the original diminutive Hawaiian soprano, theConcert size is considered by many to be the perfect ukulele. It retainsthe delightful pingy sound of its smaller cousin, but its longer 15”scale allows for easier fretting, while its marginally wider bodyprovides more tone and volume while still tucking comfortably beneath astrummer’s elbow.
