Preowned. Beautiful Custom Po Mahina Tenor Ukulele handcrafted by luthier Dennis Lake formerly of Na’alehu, HI. Dennis handcrafts beautifully playing and aesthetically pleasing instruments for both the weekend musician and the recreational player in very limited fashion with only a few instruments available per year.
This beautiful Custom Po Mahina tenor ukulele boasts a wonderful set of curly Hawaiian Koa wood on the face, back, and sides with a unique body design in the style of a Gypsy jazz or Selmer guitar, offering some fantastic tones. The neck has been hand-carved from Honduras mahogany for added structural integrity and sustain and is very comfortable, gliding into higher positions up the neck with ease. The fretboard and bridge are crafted of musicians-grade Macassar Ebony wood with a matching ebony wood headstock veneer. This gorgeous piece also boasts an oval soundhole and exaggerated lower bout body design, consistent with build philosophies used by luthiers of jazz guitars. Elegant Po Mahina mother-of-pearl headstock logo and abalone shell positions markers on 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, and 19 for easy reference. Rosewood top and back binding in keeping with the simple but classical feel of the instrument. Professional Grover open-geared tuners for quick and precise tuning. Gloss finish for a smooth-to-touch feel. Minor cosmetic wear but no cracks, no repairs, and no needed repairs.
All of Dennis Lake’s ukuleles are wonderfully crafted and are rarely available on the market. This one has a fantastic tone with a classic Hawaiian Koa wood ‘bark’ and mid-range focus. A simple and lovely player’s ukulele that rarely appears on the grand landscape of ukulele makers. #240079
