BRIDGE — The ebony bridge helps support the string tension. The Buffalo bone is hard and articulate; it helps the strings to vibrate and has great resonance.
WOOD — Koa Bird 1K used all solid Hawaiian koa which is the classic tone wood used for ukuleles. It blends the beautiful midrange tones of mahogany and sprinkles in the sparkling high range tones of spruce as well. A brand new Koa Bird 1K tends to starts out sounding mellow. But as the wood ages and the instrument is played more, the sound then opens up, expanding the midrange and rewarding the player with a richer, sweeter, more resonant tone.
