This uke resonates with a story woven from the strings of passion and craftsmanship. A creation straight from the heart, it's a Compass Rose "Howe-Orme" or "O" Custom Tenor, boasting a rare fusion of elegance and soulfulness.
Craftsmanship Unveiled: Unique Design and Playability Converge in This Masterpiece
Firstly, its unique body style traces its lineage to the graceful contours of antique Howe Orme mandolins, bridging the past with the present. The bolt-on neck design, held together by two allen head bolts, ensures a seamless connection between body and soul. A touch of innovation reveals itself as the fingerboard floats atop the instrument's surface, supported by a hidden core of carbon fiber, promising enduring playability and enchanting melodies.
Unleash Your Melodies: Embrace the Soulful Sound of the Mahogany-Bodied Tenor Ukulele
Carved from rich mahogany, the body lends warmth and resonance to every note that dances through its strings. The modified fan bracing ensures a harmonious balance, allowing melodies to soar with clarity and emotion. A silky ebony fingerboard extends an invitation to explore, its 12 frets to body and a 17" scale length offering a canvas for creativity.
A rosewood bridge anchors the strings, ensuring every vibration is carefully transmitted, while the finish, a clear nitro satin lacquer over polyester, bestows an understated elegance. The 2009 Rick Turner Compass Rose Tenor Ukulele is more than wood and strings; it's a portal to the symphony of your soul, waiting for your fingers to weave its magic.

* CUSTOM SETUP - Although each instrument comes with a factory setup, it is strongly recommended to consider adding a custom setup. This is especially important if you value ease of playability, suffer from arthritis, have specific preferences for your setups, or desire a low action (i.e., minimal distance between strings and fretboard). In order to explore these customization options, simply click the "ADD SETUP" button below.
* REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY - To ensure your warranty is valid, it's crucial to use a humidifier, which is strongly recommended regardless of where you live. Not only do humidifiers safeguard your investment, but they also facilitate the warranty process by demonstrating that you have taken precautions to protect your ukulele. When making a warranty claim, it is likely that they will inquire about your use of a humidifier.
