Barron River Tenor Ukulele - Sitka Spruce with Australian Blackwood

Brand New. December 2023. Barron River Tenor ukulele, made in Cairns Australia. Allen McFarlen has been building for over 15 years, he has been mentored by experienced luthiers which has contributed to much of his success today. This custom ukulele is made with salvaged Sitka Spruce from Alaska and figured Australian Blackwood. Adorned with Indian Rosewood appointments throughout and finished with high-gloss polyurethane. There’s so much depth to the sound, with the Sitka Spruce gives an added clarity and projection paired with Blackwood provides balance overall. It is very light and with the added radiused fretboard provides an even more comfortable feeling, the neck profile is thin which makes bar chords easier to play and ideal for those with smaller hands.

This premium instrument, built with quality materials, aesthetically pleasing to the eye and tone you could listen to all day makes it a one-of-a-kind! If you’ve thought of owning an Australian made or Barron River ukulele, this one is worth checking out!
