MATON CON-CED-BURST Concert Size Solid Cedar Acoustic Ukulele with Case Hand Crafted in Australia – S/N#2049

No-one can deny that the ukulele has taken the world of music by storm, this compact, four stringed, curvaceous bundle of fun has bought people together and provided more enjoyment than anyone could have thought possible.

Now Australia’s own celebrated Guitar makers, Maton return to the fold with this Concert Size Maton Ukulele.

The Maton ukulele is the result of combining the best of traditional ukulele design with 21st century production techniques. This instrument draws on Maton’s extensive background in the use and fine tuning of Australian tonewoods to produce a tone which is rich, full and intriguing – and which evokes the timeless sounds of the classic Hawaiian ukuleles.

Maton built Ukuleles as far back as the 1960’s and have used this legacy along with their consummate guitar building skills to produce an instrument that not only looks amazing, but also sound superb!

This is not the first time Maton has produced ukuleles. A series of Maton soprano ukuleles were produced in the 1960s, many of which have become irreplaceable favourites of some of Australia’s best ukulele players. Maton still has some of these instruments and the original necks were the inspiration for the neck on their new concert model.

This Maton Ukulele is Handcrafted from gorgeous Australian Cedar. Cedar is a popular tonewood in Maton instruments. Producing rich and warm tones, cedar gives you a darker tones resulting in a more pronounced bottom-end.

To ensure the ultimate playing experience, we have included our acclaimed PRO-SCM setup. Careful attention is paid to all aspects of the instrument including hand rolling the fret ends for a premium “played-in” feel and no sharp edges, leveling and polishing the frets as required and adjusting the string height at the nut and saddle. The end result is an instrument that you won’t want to put down!
