All Curly Koa Tenor
(Jessica's Uke)

This Curly Koa tenor is going to a good friend and former colleague. This uke has such a sweet mellow sound I decided to string it with a full set of Pepe Romero low G fluorocarbons instead of my usual custom strings, which tend to be a little brighter.​
This is an inside picture of the back. It shows the curl and the slight compression of the grain better than the pics in the sunlight.
The accents are a Cooibah Burl.
I accidentally cut the burl flat instead of on the quarter, but it looks really cool book matched, so it turned out OK
The rosette is a very pretty, thick abalone.
​
The binding, fretboard and bridge are East Indian Rosewood.
Here is a full back shot in the sunlight.
The neck is Honduran Mahogany reinforced with a carbon rod, just to be safe.
All PCH ukuleles have a side sound port unless for some reason the customer doesn't want one. However, I think once you play a uke with a sound port, you would want one forever.
