Looking for the best Makai Concert ukulele? Well here it is, the Makai CKU-24 Concert, which is the best concert ukulele we have to offer! Made from solid Koa wood you will definitely notice a difference on this spectacular ukulele. This wood is native to Hawaii and means brave, bold fearless or warrior in the Hawaiian language. The sound of the Makai CKU-24 is warm, bright and loud without too much emphasis on either end of the tonal spectrum for a concert ukulele. Koa is the most popular wood used by expert luthiers and is known for it's incredible sound and beautiful appearance. Koa wood is the best hardwood in the Hawaiian Islands used to make ukuleles and the CKU-24 Concert is definitely not an exception.
Makai CKU-24 Concert features:
• Nato neck
• Pearl rosette
• Aquila nylon strings
• Beautiful Ebony fingerboard
• Matte finish for that natural look
• Solid Flamed Koa top, back and sides
• Industry standard scale and total length

The Makai CKU-24 is a little larger than the soprano ukulele, allowing for a bigger sound and has a larger fingerboard. Its larger size allows for a little extra room for playing chords making it ideal for people with larger hands and is easy to carry and store. The Makai CKU-24 Concert is a good compromise between the sound of the Soprano and the ease of playing you get from the Tenor.
Koa is unique and distinct from other woods in two ways, namely grain and color. Koa wood is well known for the variety of grain it has. Often rippled, and with a fine to medium coarseness, Koa really stands out in the way it looks. It is often said to have a depth to it that is just not often found in wood. The Koa ukuleles in this series have a wide range of colors. It can be anywhere from red to white to deep brown.
The Makai CKU-24 Concert also features a solid Flamed Koa top, back and sides, Nato neck, Beautiful Ebony fingerboard, satin finish for that traditional look, pearl rosette inlay, Aquila nylon strings, lightweight deluxe geared tuners and Bone Nut and Saddle. The lightweight geared tuners are designed to prevent slippage so you will not have to retune the ukulele so often. So, if you are a traditionalist and want an authentic look, this just might be the ukulele for you.
Each Makai CKU-24 Concert factory inspected by a qualified technician prior to shipping for smooth fret ends, precision normal action and resonant sound quality.
