Here is a Vento Concert Deluxe from Hilo, Hawaii. Mr. Vento is an experienced finisher, who learned how to build ukulele from Mr. Goodall while he was on the Big Island. His ukuleles are unique and sound great. This model is an all very curly Hawaiian Koa body, with maple binding. This ukulele also has an all Koa neck!!! Ebony fingerboard and bridge, with the fingerboard and headstock also bound in maple. Maple back and bottom strips, and maple heel cap. This instrument is decorated beautifully. The finish is high quality polyeurethane. These instruments are all hand built one by one, and are not always available. There was also a standard and concert fully inlaid in abalone, that were sold so quicly, I couldn't take pictures of them. Mahalo.
