”An Eye-Catching Design for a Great Sounding Uke”

If you are looking for a soprano ukulele that not only sounds great but that looks awesome too, then the Luna Guitars Honu Soprano Ukulele may be just what you are looking for.

Let’s face it, ukuleles are not necessarily known for their visual appeal. In fact, most look so similar that they may as well all come from the same company. With the Honu, you definitely won’t have that problem! Not only does this little instrument have a good around sound, it also has looks that you will fall in love with!

Here is a soprano sized ukulele made of all mahogany with a design as original as the ukulele, with Hawaiian tattoo patterns laid out in such interesting ways that you will be put in mind of the many stories of the Hawaiian natives and their relationship with the birds and sea animals of the islands. In fact, the pattern surrounding the soundhole looks very much like a Hawaiian sea turtle, and will prove a conversation piece no matter if you are playing the instrument or have it hanging on your wall.

And it isn’t just the tattoo markings that make this piece so very unusual, check out the fret markers, they are made to look like stylized shark’s teeth and they lend a decided air of Hawaiian tribal pizzazz to this ukulele’s construction and will give you the advantage of distinctive style.

Of course all the markings and stylizations wouldn’t be worth much if the uke didn’t play well, and for a laminated ukulele, this one has a fairly decent sound and keeps its tune surprisingly well. Of course solid body models will sound better, but at just ~$99 (including the cost of a gig bag as well as a tuner and a chord chart!) you really can’t go wrong with the Luna Guitars Honu Soprano Ukulele made of all mahogany.
