Visually and tonally striking, the Island Series is the result of our relentless pursuit in providing ukulele players access to boutique instruments. Drawing inspiration from our Custom Series guitars, these ukuleles are made from hand selected tonewoods, individually voiced by Hozen, and are furnished with our signature options Florentine Cutaway, Soundport, and Beveled Armrest, giving players access to boutique ukuleles off-the-rack.


Ā 

INDIVIDUALLY HANDVOICED

Though bracing patterns affect the tonal characteristics of a ukulele, there is no formulaic way of guaranteeing the best tone. Every piece of wood is different that is why we take time to individually voice every Island Series ukulele to deliver an instrument that has a very delicate response, rich in projection, and full of character.

Ā 

RESPONSIVE WITH GREATER FOCUS ON COMPLEX OVERTONES

In addition to the signature responsiveness of our instruments, the Island Series ukuleles are specially voiced to possess complex overtones without compromising the richness of the fundamentals ā€“ resulting to a ukulele that is always inspiring to play.

Ā 

HANDSELECTED TONEWOODS

We source for the best tonewoods all over the world and naturally season them for years to ensure that they are responsive and have the ideal moisture content. The wood that we use for the Island Series are handselected based on how fast the sound travels across the board, richness of tap tones, deflection, and woodgrain.

BOUTIQUE FEATURES

Aside from the playing comfort that the Beveled Armrest offers, the Soundport brings you to another level of expression and inspiration as it allows you to hear in detail every nuance of your playing.
