Luna High Tide Exotic Concert Ukulele, Satin Natural Mahogany

Full Description

Amazing range of tone

Incredibly rich tones. The High Tide Concert Ukulele is built almost entirely from exotic mahogany, which produces plenty of treble tones and unparalleled ukulele warmth. Access deeper, darker tones you never thought possible with a ukulele and open up a whole new realm of ukulele playing. The body offers plenty of volume, meaning audibility will never be an issue.

Despite the High Tide's ability to create new, interesting ukulele tones, an excellent balance between the high-end and low-end ensures it still retains a classic, authentic ukulele sound, too. This exotic mahogany tonewood is the perfect all-rounder for delivering growling lows, a punchy mid-range, and singing, sparkling highs. A complete ukulele soundscape.

Perfect fingerboard and neck combination

Suitable for all playing styles. The walnut fingerboard gives earthy, natural sounding warmth to your music. It's also incredibly comfortable to the touch, affording the Luna High Tide outstanding playability. You'll be able to practice for long periods and perform in lengthy live shows without your fingers getting sore.

Marvellous resonance is added by the responsive mahogany neck. The specially designed C-shaped profile further maximises comfort, making the ukulele easy to play at every position up and down the neck. This also makes gliding up and down for fast chord progressions simple. A complete joy to play.

Stage-ready

The ultimate live ukulele. The concert ukulele size is slightly larger than the classic soprano, creating a more melodic, deeper, and altogether fuller sound. This makes the Luna High Tide brilliantly well-suited for live performances, as it has excellent projection to ensure an audience hears every note you play. This is enhanced by a longer than usual scale length, meaning notes resonate for longer. Built for concerts.

Manufacturers with a rich 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.
