摘要
An improved ukelele made from koa wood and coconut shell sidewalls provides a unique, deeper, pleasing musical tone. A stringed musical instrument comprises a body having an upper sounding board, a lower sounding board, and a convex sidewall. The sidewall is connected peripherally to the upper and lower sounding boards, for defining a resonant cavity. A longitudinal neck portion extends on an axis away from the body. The instrument has a plurality of strings tensioned between the body and the neck adjacent said upper sounding board. Tensioning means is provided for tensioning said strings to a desired level.;The upper sounding board includes an aperture positioning in an upper central position, with a plurality of strings passing over the aperture on the outside of the body. The upper and lower sounding boards are comprised of a Hawaiian hardwood selected from one of the group of koa and milo. The convex side-walls comprise of a plurality of sectors made from hardened coconut shells and glued together to form a contiguous peripheral sidewall between said upper and lower sounding boards.
