Beautiful Solid Rosewood and Western Red Cedar Top on this NEW Steel String Mini guitar. Pictures show a demo example of the instrument, if interested please reach out. These parlour guitars are stunning, and have great projection and resonance for such a small instrument. Nicest parlour guitars I have come across working 10 years in the industry.

 

Information about the parlour:

 

This is a new and unique instrument from Pono Guitar & Ukulele. It has a 21.4" scale. This has a smaller body and shorter scale than a tenor guitar, but it's larger than a baritone ukulele. Pono describes the inspiration for their UL series guitars,

 

"In the 1800's guitar makers migrated from Europe to the eastern United States.  Some of their first designs were what we today refer to as 'parlor' guitars.  Big guitars were not yet on the market.  The most common sizes had an 11" to 13" wide body width.

Small size guitars produce a sparkling tone, a chime, and somewhat of a natural reverberating sustain.  In the early to mid 1900's a few guitar manufacturers produced similar size 'parlor' guitars.  The Li'i is the body width of what was known as a Style 2, and the 'Uku Li'i a Style 5."

 

This new model features gorgeous woods, wood purflings and rosette, ebony top and back binding, radius fingerboard for extra comfort, a beautiful gloss finish body, smooth satin finish neck, and a custom fit arched top hardshell case.

Pono only uses solid woods, bone nut and saddle, and only wood bindings. No plastics. They have a climate-controlled factory on the island of Java. They diligently aim for perfection and it shows!
