Roosebeck Tenor Baroque Ukulele (Variegated Bowl Back, Nylon Gig Bag, Extra String Set)

This Roosebeck "Baroq-Ulele" Tenor Baroque Ukulele is based on the round-back guitar found in Germany. The Baroquleles are one of the most option-rich lines of instruments Roosebeck offers. This Tenor-sized instrument is based upon a 430mm (17 inches) scale. It features a European spruce soundboard with a rosette design based on a lute by Magno Stegher of 1607. The back is a round-back or bowl shape made of alternating staves of sheesham rosewood (Dalbergia sissoo) and lacewood (Platanus orientalus). The neck is solid sheesham rosewood and features a nut width of 37mm (1 1/2 inch) with a bone nut. This instrument is outfitted with standard friction ukulele tuners. The tension on each friction tuner can be adjusted by tightening or loosing the screw on the top of the tuner. The bridge, also made of sheesham rosewood incorporates a genuine bone saddle. An end-pin strap button is standard. Overall size: 26.75 x 9 x 4.75 inches. Extra String Set ($7.95 Value), Padded Nylon Case Included. Free Shipping.

Bowl-back "Baroq-Ulele" ukuleles have a rounded, bowl-shaped back, which gives them a distinct look and sound compared to the standard ukuleles with a flat or slightly arched back. The bowl-back design results in a warmer, somewhat mellower tone compared to the brighter sound of flat-backed ukuleles. The bowl-back construction also allows for more resonance and projection, making them suitable for different playing styles, and appreciated for their unique aesthetic and sound characteristics.
