USED IMUA iCG Solid Hawaiian Koa Concert Ukulele Gloss Finish #7102044

Using only the finest cuts of Koa, this uke is made by Japanese master builder Shinji Takahashi and a very highly skilled team to a stratospheric standard on the sunny island of Oahu. Using Japanese construction techniques and values with Hawaiian materials makes for the perfect blend of quality and character.

I love this concert ukulele. It is one of those ukes that cannot help but put a smile on your face. Playing it is so effortless: like all the other Hawaiian brands, it rewards even the lightest of touches with a clean, crisp response, great volume and - possibly the best endorsement anyone can give it - character all of its own. The K brands all have their unique sound and feel - this one has its place at the table with its own set of characteristics, and it does not suffer in any way from the comparison.

 

The Imua gloss finishes are a little bit rustic like the Kamaka Ukuleles due to the traditional nature of the design and build. The result is a semi open pore finish that displays quite a few little pits in the finish under closer examinations.. This can take some people by surprise but is sadly often a byproduct of trying to achieve a super light gloss finish.

 

IMUA are the emerging new stars of the Hawaiian Ukulele world. Founded by the man originally behind Big Island/Honu Ukuleles; Jorma Winkler has worldwide links with the finest woods available in the world and in IMUA Ukuleles it really shows. IMUA simply have some of the most gorgeous looking and sounding tonewoods and continue to make them into a comfortable, well built Ukulele to be enjoyed.

This one was owned for only a few months, before being traded in. It has had very limited use, displaying no really visible marks. As near mint as you will find!
