This wonderful and extremely rare Moore Bettah tenor ukulele was handcrafted from one of an absolutely gorgeous set of black and white ebony wood.

This instrument also boasts a beautiful set of Bear claw sitka spruce for the soundboard and a black and white ebony wood fretboard with a Gabon ebony wood bridge. Matching black and white ebony wood rosette with a subtle black and white rope purfling line on the headstock, top, and back in keeping with the theme of the instrument.

Solid carbon fiber reinforced Spanish cedar wood neck for a light weight feel and a slightly brighter sound. Bone was used for the nut and saddle and the instrument was set up with Planetary geared tuners for quick and precise tuning. Glossy Nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

This instrument is an absolute treasure. Lots of low end with a nice shimmer on the top. Excellent sustain, clarity, and projection. The instrument is very well balanced tonally all the way up the neck and spot on intonation as well. Highly recommended player piece but also a remarkable piece of functional art. This is as good as it gets for recording artists, weekend giggers, and the uke-lover at heart! #220066
