Kiwaya MV-1S (KTS-4) Soprano

Famous FS-5 Soprano Ukulele  PARTICULAR SIGNS   Format soprano  Layered Hawaiian koa body  Mahogany neck  Walnut fingerboard  Tuner : Gotoh friction  ABS resin nut & saddle  Scale length : 350 mm  12/15  frets  Famous Aranjuez nylon strings  Weight : 333g  gloss finish  Made in Japan CASA OPINION  Created in 1955, “Famous” is Kiwaya's oldest brand, and also the best-selling in Japan. Until now, these models have been reserved for the Japanese market, but we've been receiving them in Europe under the Kiwaya name and the “eco series” designation. In order to harmonise their offer, they have now decided to distribute the “eco series” in France and Europe under the name “Famous”. Apart from the label, nothing changes - it's a Kiwaya made in Japan! The instrument is made from laminated Hawaiian Koa, and offers exceptional acoustic performance with an impressive, extremely well-balanced volume. Its light weight and extremely precise tuning make this ukulele an addictive instrument to play. This model is the same as the FS-5G but with friction action action, making it even lighter at just 333g! Kiwaya has a long history as a ukulele manufacturer, which makes this Eco series different from and above other ukuleles in the same price range.
