Partial solid concert ukulele with great sound and design: the Fame Koa Standard Uke
The FameKoa Standard Uke at a glance
The Fame Koa Standard Uke is the latest model in the Standard Series, expanding it with a stunningly beautiful concert ukulele made from the finest materials. With its solid koa top and body, also made of koa wood, it produces a distinctly balanced sound that is suitable for both vocal accompaniment and professional solo playing. In addition, it also features a pickup for amplified playing, which makes the ukulele fit for the stage and the recording studio. An included gig bag with backpack strap and accessory compartment rounds out the model's features and guarantees safe and easy transport to the gig, recording studio or rehearsal room.
A solid top and a laminated body made of koa produce a balanced tone.
Excellent balance due to koa
Due to its well-swinging solid top, the ukulele produces an assertive sound for professional use that fully fills the stage. The manufacturer relies entirely on koa wood for the top, back and sides, which enjoys great popularity especially in the production of high-quality ukuleles. The wood, which is native to Hawaii, develops a balanced sound with warm basses, concise mids and defined trebles and is excellently suited for dynamic playing techniques.
More space on the fingerboard makes for comfortable playability.
Playable dimensions
Since the design of the concert ukulele is slightly larger than that of the well-known soprano ukulele, it has proven itself to be pleasant to play, especially for adults. With its 381 mm scale length and 37.8 mm nut width, it has wider spacing between its 19 frets and the four strings, which, in combination with the easy-grip mahogany neck and cutaway, contributes to comfortable playability. Ukulele enthusiasts by no means have to do without the typical Hawaiian sound, as the tone hardly differs from the well-known sound of the soprano ukulele. In addition, the compensated plastic bridge inlay ensures perfectly clean intonation, while gold-plated open-gear tuners guarantee the necessary tuning stability.
The extensively equipped control panel offers versatile setting options.
Functional pickup system
For optimal sound transmission during amplified playing, the model is equipped with a Belcat pickup system with preamp in the upper frame. The system convinces with numerous functions for the optimal adjustment of the sound. For example, a volume control and a 2-band equalizer with control units for bass and treble allow individual and independent regulation of the sound and adaptation to ambient conditions. Meanwhile, an integrated tuner ensures ideal control over tuning and even allows quick correction during the performance.
A beautiful design completes the ukulele.
Dreamlike design
The premium feature of the FameKoa Standard Uke is undoubtedly its exceptional design, which demonstrates attention to detail in every respect. While the Natural high-gloss finish excellently showcases the natural grain of the woods, numerous details provide decorative visual highlights. The beautiful abalone binding harmonizes perfectly with the filigree abalone rosette and enriches the instrument with a unique play of colours and a multifaceted decoration. The absolute eye-catcher, however, is the elaborate butterfly inlay, which makes the model absolutely unique.
