Identical to the current models except the peghead shape and logo are different, Farida prototype ukes are great values at righteous prices.  This is an impressive tenor ukulele with high end appointments and terrific sound. Features a lightly constructed body of highly flamed, all solid koa and a mahogany neck. Premium details include "rope" style binding and rosette, koa bridge and fingerboard, fancy wood marquetry, planetary geared tuners, and a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. A remarkable instrument.
