The UKS10 not only looks good, but sounds great as well. A Sapele soprano body, mahogany neck, rosewood bridge and fretboard and open gear chrome tuners keep you sounding good, while the natural low gloss finish gives you a classic look. Coming complete with a gig bag, the UKS10 brings the rich, textured sounds of Hawaii (and more) right to your fingertips. You'll be dancing and dreaming about the beach in no time with this classic ukulele! The sweet-toned, nylon-stringed ukulele originated in the 19th century Hawaii. It gained great popularity in the U.S. during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally.
