The Mele Mahogany Concert ukulele is the next step up in size from our standard (soprano) uke. It's 23" long and has 15 frets instead of 12 and a fuller, richer tone. It offers precision die-cast 18:1 tuning machines instead of friction pegs. The ebony fretboard is wider and longer than a soprano, making it a boon for larger fingers. It also allows the option of a low "G" tuning. The perfect size (and price) for the serious adult or young adult player! Handmade of top quality solid mahogany and ebony, individually set up by luthier Michael Rock for precise intonation, easy action, great tone!
Note: Sale price is only for our single-hole models. No double-hole models available at the moment.
