The Breedlove Lu’au Concert Natural Shadow E Ukulele

The Breedlove Lu’au Concert Natural Shadow E Ukulele is one of four Lu’au Concert Ukuleles, Breedlove is excited to introduce for 2019… each designed in Bend, Oregon and crafted in China from Oregon myrtlewood, .

For years, Kim Breedlove departed the Breedlove workshop on late afternoons – just to go to his home garage workshop and craft ukuleles. Now retired, the company that carries his name is delighted to bring these beautiful instruments based on Kim’s custom shape and bracing, to the market.

Kim Breedlove was always at his best when he was designing and handcrafting stringed instruments. From walking and exploring the koa forests of Hawaii – to his home workshop in Bend, Oregon where he experimented with nuances in ukulele body design – the ukulele was one of Kim’s true passions.
Breedlove combined Kim’s original concert body shape with his adoration for Myrtlewood – a tonewood he discovered decades ago growing on the Oregon Pacific Coast – resulting in vibrantly stunning tonal energy, which delivers more sound than traditional koa ukuleles.

The Breedlove Lu’au Concert Natural Shadow E Ukulele is priced to perfectly match your journey on the ukelele.
