OQAN QUK-ARAWAK SOPRANO - Solid Mahogany Soprano Ukulele
Discover the OQAN QUK-ARAWAK SOPRANO, a ukulele that combines high-quality construction with innovative design to deliver an exceptional musical experience. This soprano-sized instrument, the most traditional and renowned for its bright, clear sound, is crafted entirely from fine woods to ensure superior resonance and durability. Its body, sides, and back are made of solid mahogany , a distinctive feature that gives it a warm, rich, and deep tone, unlike ukuleles made with laminated woods.
The QUK-ARAWAK's design is unique thanks to its dual-sound system. It incorporates a traditional front sound port and a second port on the side rim. This configuration not only enhances sound projection towards the audience but also allows the musician to hear themselves with surprising clarity and volume, functioning as a natural personal monitor. The natural matte finish highlights the mahogany grain, while the elegant pearloid binding that borders the body adds a touch of visual distinction.
The mahogany neck is complemented by a compound rosewood fingerboard, a composite material that offers the look and feel of traditional rosewood with greater durability and stability against environmental changes. Equipped with precision open-gear tuning machines, this ukulele ensures stable and reliable tuning so you can play with complete confidence.
