Myrtlewood body creates a cheerful tone
To give the Lu'au Concert its authentic voice, Breedlove used Myrtlewood. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, myrtlewood's tone is warm and sweet — perfect for island-style playing. And depending on your playing style, you can bring out unique sonic qualities from the instrument for a sound that's all your own. The ukulele's blueprint is completed by a highly-resonant nato neck and smooth-playing ovangkol fingerboard. The highly musical sound of the Lu'au Concert will complement any vibe you want to create.
An excellent onstage companion
When you're on stage, you want a ukulele that can make the grade. That's where the Lu'au Concert's UK-T1 electronics come into play. Plug into an amp or PA system, and your ukulele pumps out an excellent amplified tone. Volume and tone controls are located on the Lu'au Concert's upper bout. Furthermore, it has an easy-to-read digital tuner that eliminates the need for unsightly headstock tuners. If you're going to perform with a ukulele, the Breedlove Lu'au Concert will be ready to go at the drop of a hat.
Concert body shape
The Breedlove Lu'au Concert has a concert-sized body. Concert ukuleles are one size larger than standard soprano ukes. The larger body produces a more robust low-end and showcases excellent power and projection. However, don't worry: concert ukes possess the bright and snappy character that players know and love. Also, the Lu'au Concert has a longer 15-inch scale length, giving you more space between the frets to work your magic. If you haven't tried out a concert ukulele yet, make sure to play the Breedlove Lu'au Concert ukulele.
