Description
This instrument is in Near-Mint Condition showing only a couple very minor hairline scratches which are too small to photograph. Included is the original hardshell case which is in Excellent-Condition
Known as the “Ohta-san” model, this bell-shaped ukulele was designed by Sam Kamaka, Jr. and Herbert Ohta in 1965. It produces sharp, clear tones, and was designed primarily for fingerpicking purposes. This one has the tonal enhancement of a western red cedar top
The HB-2 models are different than any other model you will find. The scale length is almost exactly halfway between a concert and tenor and the bell shape body adds to the depth of tone. What you get is a beautiful sound.
We inspect each and every instrument we ship out for maximum playability. We adjust the action and adjust intonation when needed. If you would like a specific adjustment, just add it to your order notes and we would be happy to adjust to your liking.
