KOA
Koa, a dense tropical hardwood native to Hawaii, boasts stunning visual appeal with its rich, swirling grain and vibrant golden to reddish-brown hues. Renowned for its balanced yet dynamic tonal profile, koa delivers a warm, resonant sound with a punchy low-mid presence and crisp, sparkling highs. Its versatility shines in fingerstyle and jazz guitar, while its cultural significance and aesthetic make it a top choice for premium ukuleles.
