Luna Tribal Concert CAW Electro Ukulele WN, Mahogany - Nearly New

Full Description

All-Mahogany Body

The Luna Uke Tribal is crafted entirely from mahogany, which provides more treble tones and an incredibly rich, distinct warmth. The mahogany body offers more volume, a strong balance between high-end and bass, which enables this uke to retain classic ukulele tone with the voicing of a concert body. The Uke Tribal produces soft warmth, but is well balanced with a bite of its own. The mahogany body also delivers a focused, punchy mid-range, thick well-defined tone, and sings sweet sparkling highs with plenty of rich dark tones. Mahogany is used a lot in the acoustic world, because it is relatively economical, durable, attractive, easy to work with, and resonant.

Mahogany Neck Topped With Rosewood Fingerboard

Constructed from mahogany, the neck offers resonance and great durability. The reason why many ukulele necks are made from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a warm, bright, and sparkly tone that really shines through when using finger picking techniques.

Concert Cutaway Body Shape

The Uke Tribal features a concert body shape, which produces rich and clear sound. The Uke Tribal has 19 frets and has become the choice of preference for ukulele soloists due to its extended range. The concert shape enables players to perform more technical skills, whilst maintaining classic ukulele tone. The concert shape is slightly larger than standard soprano size and provides more volume due to more room for sound to vibrate around the body. The cutaway design promotes the access to upper fingerboard shredding, as well as providing comfort. Ideal for both intermediate and advanced players.

Luna UK-T2 Preamp with Tuner

The Uke Tribal features an on-board Luna UK-T2 preamp with built-in tuner, which enables players to take their Tribal Concert to the stage and enjoy its sonically pleasing tones. The UK-T2 features bass and treble slide controls, volume control, and built-in tuner. The Luna preamp offers precise tuning and easy amplification that can be set up quickly and to personal preference.

The Tribal Look

The Uke Tribal is finished with a black laser etched tribal design which stands out beautifully against its mahogany body. The Uke Tribal takes its design from traditional Pacific carvings, and is inspired by tribal warriors. The Tribal Ukulele embodies Luna's philosophy of enchanting essences and love for nature via its tribal-inspired symbolic design, meaning entwined guardian spirits. The Uke Tribal is finished in natural satin, complemented by pearloid hardware, and Luna's signature crescent moon logo situated on the mahogany head-plate.

Luna History

Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars. Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles.

Yvonne moved on to created Luna guitars, a line of guitars made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent. Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour, she then applied the same techniques as she did with her award winning stained glass work to her new line of guitars. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver. Yvonne's design expertise has led so many men to respond to Luna's well-crafted, spirit-engaging instruments that the company now creates guitars for both female and male musicians of all ages.
