Description
The Collings UT41K Koa Tenor Ukulele is one of the best-built and best-sounding ukuleles we’ve seen. It features Hawaiian Koa for the top, back, and sides, with Mahogany used for the body blocks and neck. The head plate, bridge, and bound fingerboard are crafted from Cocobolo.
Abalone is used for the ‘Martin 41’ style rosette, ‘diamond’ position markers and purfling. Grained ivoroid binding is used around the top and back, headstock, and fingerboard.
The tuners are Peghed models, geared replicas of traditional wooden friction tuners and they work very well indeed. These fantastic components are also used on higher end Flamenco, bowed and traditional instruments to provide smooth, accurate tuning without physically or visually altering the instrument.
Dating to 2011, this Collings UT41K Tenor Uke is in very good, clean condition with some light honest play wear to the top above the fingerboard. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is naturally sinking and showing the true surface of the Koa's figuring.
Collings is extremely good at lacquer finishing, and here the light brown shading really brings out the figuring in the Koa body. This instrument is now about ten years old, and the finish has naturally settled some.
This is much more than a ‘looker’. Its good looks may be exceeded by its sound, which is rich, full and complex. It also plays very well.
Sold with the original Collings hard shell case.
