Diamond Head DU-118 Rainbow Soprano Ukulele with Gig Bag (Violet)

General

Since the world doesn't broadcast in monochrome and offers up a rich feast of colours for our humble human eyes, Diamond Head offer up a series of ukuleles inspired by every colour of the rainbow. The DU-118 soprano ukulele is therefore finished to match the violet-coloured end of the spectrum and, surprising for an instrument at this price, has a top, back and sides made of maple to deliver sparkling, rainbow-bright tone supported by solid open-gear machine heads for faithful tuning stability. This fetching violet uke comes complete with its very own matching violet gig bag.

Diamond Head

More than a hundred years ago, the little stringed instrument that is the cavaquinho found its way to Hawaii by hitching a ride with Portuguese immigrants. The story goes that three settled Portuguese wood-workers started to develop their very own variation of the traditional instrument which grew up to become the number one folk instrument in the whole of Hawaii. In tribute to the rich history of the ukulele, Diamond Head took its name from a volcanic mountain on an island in Honolulu, Hawaii and have since produced ukuleles in all shapes, sizes and colours while always following the guidelines of the traditional build. As such, every instrument embodies the feel and sound of a genuine Hawaiian ukulele.
