collapse expand iconDescription

Made from an entirely European bell brass body and featuring a 6" hand-spun Continental cone, this Recording King resonator ukulele adds a unique twist to the classic Hawaiian instrument. This rare ukulele model features a mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard, Champion-style friction tuners, pearloid headstock overlay and a bell brass coverplate.

These excellent features give the traditional instrument fantastic projection and a bark that is uncommon yet very appealing among ukuleles. 

Case sold separately.

    The description says the Recording King redo uke featherweight case is included and it also says it's sold separately. Is it included, and if not, how do I order the case and what is the cost? Thanks!
