In Stock!! #tomotomoshop Product List Made in Japan, the popular Kaala KU-1 is a beautiful instrument. Its small size makes it ideal for children and seniors. This soprano ukulele is a Hawaiian Koa model, popular during the mid-production period, rather than the later Ovangkol models. It originally sold for around 30,000 yen. This ukulele was manufactured by Fujigen, known as one of Japan's largest OEM factories for electric guitars. The golden age of Fender Japan guitars was also manufactured at the Fujigen factory. The ukulele is meticulously crafted, with attention to detail in materials, design, and construction methods. It features high-quality neck/fingerboard materials and a bone nut/saddle, resulting in a very solid build. The "KU-1" is a former flagship model with a Hawaiian Koa plywood body, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard, strung with black nylon strings. It has specifications comparable to the popular domestic Famous FS-5, which retails for 45,100 yen. The Hawaiian Koa on this particular instrument has a particularly beautiful grain. While there may be minor differences between the two models in terms of price, there is no significant difference in major specifications. The KU-1 offers excellent cost performance, with the price difference largely due to brand name value. Many people choose this model, knowing the feedback from Shimamura Music users and the track record of the Fujigen factory. Overall, the ukulele is in very good condition with no scratches. The bridge is not peeling, and the instrument has been tested and is fully functional. The screws on the straight pegs are tightened, ensuring stable tuning. The frets and fingerboard have been cleaned, giving them a beautiful color, and they should not require moisturizing for a while. Tuner included. A case is not included, but please comment if you would like one. Shipping will be done by wrapping the ukulele in bubble wrap and placing it in a cardboard box.
