Barnes & Mullins BMUK8C Becote Concert Ukulele

Description

Made from beautiful marbled Becote tonewood that creates a powerful tone.

Barnes & Mullins BMUK8 ukuleles use all-Becote tonewoods that display a glorious, marbled grain pattern. This unique tonewood not only looks spectacular, but also sounds great with a powerful, warm tone and excellent projection.

The stunning wood grain swirls of BMUK8 ukes are further brought to life with an all-over high gloss finish and accentuated with a patterned binding and bevelled edge for extra comfort and aesthetic appeal. A corresponding patterned rosette completes these stylish ukuleles.

BMUK8 ukuleles feature strap buttons for attaching a ukulele strap.

Who is this ukulele for?

Concert ukuleles are the second largest of the three common sizes of ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor). Their size offers a good compromise between smaller soprano and larger tenor ukuleles.

They feature a larger fret spacing and slightly wider neck than their soprano brethren – meaning they’re easy to play as they there’s more space on the fingerboard to master the chord shapes. The concert size is a great choice for players of any experience or skill level.

Their larger body means they naturally produce a full sound and warm tone with more mid-range emphasis than the soprano. They’re therefore excellent accompaniment ukuleles that blend well alongside other instruments.
