Maestro Guitars Island Series 8-string Tenor Ukulele

Special Build UT-SR CSB K8

Custom Boutique Uke – Stunning Koa!

This Special Build 8-string Tenor Ukulele from Maestro Guitars is visually and tonally striking. Special Build instruments are unique pieces designed to push boundaries and this UT-KO does just that. Uke-sized body with 8-nylon strings (4 pairs), beautiful figured Koa wood and stunning appointments! This Tenor Uke is an absolute blast to play – light, loud and lively! Nearly twice the output of a normal Uke with big fat tone.

The Island Series is the result of a relentless pursuit to provide ukulele players access to boutique instruments as well. Drawing inspiration from Maestro Custom Series guitars, these ukuleles and uke-hybrid instruments are made from hand selected tonewoods, are individually voiced by Hozen, and feature trademark Maestro appointments such as the Grit Laskin-style Beveled Armrest, Florentine Cutaway and side Soundport.

Appointments include solid figured Pacific Koa top, back and sides, Mahogany binding with Abalone purfling throughout, Ebony bridge and fingerboard, custom inlay and Abalone Rosette.

The Maestro brand was founded by luthier Ho Zen Yong – known simply as “Hozen” – with the vision of offering high quality boutique acoustic instruments for the best possible value. Since then, Maestro Guitars has evolved into one of the leading makers of premium guitars and ukuleles in the world. Hozen’s lifelong commitment to making fine, hand-crafted instruments more accessible began at a young age. His family were the first piano builders in Singapore. Hungry to bring Maestro guitars to the next level, Hozen studied under renowned luthier Ervin Somogyi and underwent PLEK training with the legendary Joe Glaser, who was also instrumental in developing the team’s eye for detail.

Every Maestro exudes a commitment to making fine boutique instruments more accessible. Handmade by a small team of experienced luthiers, all Maestro instruments are built from hand-selected tone woods and individually voiced by Hozen, ensuring that each is exceptional in terms of tone and craftsmanship.
