The Rebel Lovelace Soprano Mango with Gig Bag  (the model photographed will be the one shipped) PARTICULAR SIGNS  Soprano   Solid mango top & back   Solid spruce sides  Mahogany neck  Ebony fretboard bridge and faceplate  Maple fretboard marker and wood marquetry logo  Gotoh UPT tuners  The Rebel Excella® fluorocarbon strings  TUSQ® nut and saddle   Nut width : 36,7 mm   Scale length : 353 mm  14 frets  High gloss finish  Deluxe gig bag included  Made in Thailand CASA OPINION The Lovelace Soprano is a rare model from the “Q” series, a collection in which every instrument is unique. Its character stems from a wood selection that is as bold as it is unexpected: a solid mango top and back, paired with solid spruce sides. A unique combination that is characteristic of The Rebel and their bold design philosophy. Many luthiers believe that spruce reveals its full potential when used as a soundboard. However, they have used it for the sides, and the resulting sonic dimension is breathtaking—the sound is intensely rich and lively. The Lovelace thus reminds us of a simple yet essential idea: in lutherie, as elsewhere, rules are sometimes meant to be challenged.

Koaloha ukuleles began production in 1995, handmade one by one in Honolulu, and although they have undergone improvements over time, they still sound the same: rich in harmony, warmth, and brightness. Perfectly balanced, these instruments are suitable for all types of music. From fingerpicking to strumming, from classical to jazz, the Hawaiian Koa series vibrates and resonates beautifully.  It feels very comfortable in your hands, the instrument is light, the playability is obvious, you are playing a very high-end ukulele. The whole thing gives an impression of absolute classicism, with a magnificent 5-point crown-shaped headstock and a sublime rosette delightfully named “Musubi” (after a sushi-shaped snack that is very popular in Hawaii).

It’s the only soprano ukulele offered by L.Luthier, and it’s such a rare find that it isn’t even listed on their official website. It took some persuasion to get them to include it in our catalog!  Crafted entirely from solid mahogany, the Mini Maho captivates at first glance. Its carefully selected wood, with warm, deep grain, is enhanced by finishes of remarkable quality. It’s a feast for the eyes. In terms of sound, it offers a particularly well-balanced tone. Its warm, precise, and responsive tone suits dynamic strumming with Hawaiian accents just as well as more delicate, intimate arpeggios. A true musical companion, capable of accompanying all styles with ease. Its long neck, combined with a 37 mm nut width, provides exceptional playing comfort, especially for musicians with large hands or those seeking more space for complex chords and solo playing. It retains all the charm and projection of a soprano while offering ergonomics similar to a concert ukulele. Rare, elegant, and incredibly endearing, the L.Luthier Le Mini Maho is a small ukulele that packs a big punch. A true gem that we’re particularly proud to offer at La Casa.
