Millar BR-240WG All Solid Bolivian Rosewood Concert Ukulele #01

This Millar BR-240WG all solid Bolivian rosewood (Pau Ferro) concert ukulele is something really special. 

You rarely see a ukulele made of solid Pau Ferro... I think the most famous example is George Harrisons rosewood Telecaster from the Beatles 'Let it be' session. That's a rather tenuous way of saying that if it was good enough for the Beatles, its good enough for you. But how does it sound?

It sounds the opposite of how it looks actually, the dark creamy looking wood would suggest a darker, more complex and mellow sound but actually Pau Ferro is a volume powerhouse so when I gave this a strum today, I was struck by the directness of the sound. If you pick out single notes it has an almost piano vibe to it.

The look of the instrument is of course set off nicely by Millar's Nunes inspired ebony/maple rope binding and sound hole rosette. It also has a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, just in case you were left wanting by the lack of rosewood elsewhere on this model!
