The Snail UKC-E498 is a concert-sized ukulele with an ebony body, sitting in the middle of the ukulele size ladder above the small soprano and below the tenor. Concert scale gives more room between frets than a soprano, which suits fingerstyle work and any player finding a soprano cramped, while keeping the punchy, familiar ukulele voice rather than moving towards the fuller, more guitar-like tenor.Ebony as a tonewood tends towards a warm, clear voice with tight bass and a defined attack. Combined with the concert body it produces a focused sound that carries well in a mixed acoustic setting and records cleanly. Positioned as a step up from the entry-level laminated tops in the Snail range, the UKC-E498 is aimed at players who have decided the ukulele is going to stick around and want an instrument with more character than a starter model.Set up and tuning-checked before dispatch.
