The
ukulele resurgence continues unabated, with bands like
the superb Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain demonstrating
very much the musical potential and serious musical
side of the various versions of the ukulele, this new
‘Laka’ series by Vintage is a collection
of seriously pro-spec instruments, available in both
acoustic and electro-acoustic formats.
Adding extra value to this Laka series of ukuleles from
Vintage is the fact that, to aid instrument tonal resonance
and response, the ukes are finished in a tone-friendly
open pore satin finish. Additionally, the Laka ukuleles
are fitted with premium grade Italian Aquila strings
for maximum playing performance and an even, balanced
sound. Finally, reinforcing the high-spec nature of
these Lakas, the electro-acoustic ukes are fitted with
the uke-friendly USA-made Fishman Sonitone preamp systems,
a soundhole-mounted style of unit which is totally unobtrusive
both visually and physically.
