Brand : Mele Ukulele (Hand made from Hawaii)
Model : Mele - Double Hole Mahogany (Concert)
Size : Concert
Product Description:
Maui's world-reknowned master luthier, Steve Grimes, came up with the double-hole design for some guitars he built for slack-key master Keola Beamer. He graciously permitted Mele to use it in Mele ukulele building, and it's become a signature Mele feature. Because of the improved volume it provides, it's become quite popular, and other builders are beginning to copy it.
The Mele double-hole mahogany concert ukulele is identical in size, shape, price and materials to our single-hole concert-sized mahogany Mele, except for the soundboard design. It is 23" long and has 15 frets. It is entirely hand-made out of solid mahogany and ebony woods. The two soundholes (sometimes referred to as "epaulet" soundholes) impart a slightly louder and brighter tone quality. The double-hole design is quite popular here in Hawaii, due in part to its distinctive appearance. Any musician who likes a unique look and great tone will love this uke.
