Barnes & Mullins BMUK7C Concert ukulele Koa

Barnes & Mullins ukuleles are crafted using the finest exotic tonewoods. This not only creates a spectacular appearance but also ensures they sound as beautiful as they look. These ukuleles have a powerful, clear sound with excellent sustain thanks to the hardness of the woods used.

Koa

Koa is considered an exotic wood, and given its Hawaiian origins, it's easy to understand why. It's not only a sight to behold, but its sound easily matches its visual beauty. An instrument made with koa benefits greatly from being played. New koa can sometimes sound a bit harsh and stiff, but the more it's played, the better it will sound. Once a koa instrument is sufficiently "broken in," the sound opens up completely, becoming pleasant, rich, and clear with an abundance of resonance. The bass, in particular, becomes rich and full, while the overall tone truly comes alive.

Open pore finish

An open-pore finish on a guitar's soundboard allows it to vibrate more freely. This gives the guitar a more resonant and responsive tone. It also keeps the guitar's weight within limits, which in turn enhances playing pleasure.
