It has an ebony fretboard and an ebony headstock with KoAloha's crown shape and an abalone logo, and abalone dot fret markers on the top and the side of the neck. In Terry Carter's review, the neck is mahogany with the same satin finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the KoAloha KCM-10 Pikake and how is it tuned?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KoAloha KCM-10 Pikake is a concert ukulele, 23.62 inches long overall, with a 15.25-inch scale length, a 1.5-inch nut width and 18 frets. It uses KoAloha fluorocarbon strings tuned G-C-E-A with a high G.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Pikake mean on the KoAloha KCM-10 Pikake?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Terry Carter's review, Pikake means the satin finish. Everything else on the KCM-10 is the same as the standard KCM-00 concert, and the only difference is the satin finish. He says a satin finish needs nicer wood, because it is exposed and cannot be buffed to hide imperfections the way a high-gloss finish can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the KoAloha KCM-10 Pikake sound like and who is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoAloha describes the tone of its koa ukuleles as a balance of warmth and brightness, and says they suit styles from fingerpicking to strumming and from classical to jazz. In his review of the KCM-10, Terry Carter says the satin finish lets the wood sound airy and full, and that the ukulele would sound fuller still with a low G, though it comes with a high G.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I receive the exact ukulele in the photos?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid koa varies in grain and colour from one ukulele to the next.
