Kevita Tenor- Styled after the Roy Smeck Vita Ukulele, this mandolin-shaped ukulele has a richer and fuller tone than its size suggests. Unlike the Vita uke, which used two seal-shaped cutouts as soundholes, I borrow the D-shaped soundhole from my Gypsy style ukulele. Includes large choice of in-stock woods. Plastic binding on top and soundhole, There is typically no binding on the back of this ukulele, but it could be implemented if wished. Grover geared tuners, Spanish cedar neck, Tusq® nut and compensated saddle, rosewood or ebony fingerboard and bridge, dot inlays on fingerboard. The original Vita uke was considered a soprano ukulele, but I offer it as a concert or tenor (same body on both). Includes case or gig bag.
