Fender® Ukulele Nohea Tenor Ukulele - Koa

Fender Ukulele Nohea Tenor Ukulele

Fender brings you the authentic sound of the Hawaiian Islands with its first-ever series of ukulele models.

The Fender Ukulele Nohea - In Hawaiian, this name translates directly into the English lovely, which this model certainly is—built of laminated koa (a native Hawaiian hardwood used by ancient Hawaiians to build dugout canoes), with a gloss finish and aged abalone acrylic binding.

Ukuleles are enjoying renewed popularity, with exquisite sounds and designs that are a far cry from mere musical toys. Originally built by Portuguese immigrants to the Hawaiian Islands in the 1880s, the small guitar-like instruments produced a lilting sound that instantly evoked the lush South Pacific atmosphere of their island homeland.

Fender’s three new tenor-style ukulele models (Hau'oli, Nohea, Pa'ina) offer finely crafted sound and construction; they too instantly evoke the sound and spirit of Hawaii, with a dash of traditional Fender mojo for good measure—each one features the distinctive Fender Telecaster® guitar headstock shape, unique body shapes and bracing patterns designed exclusively for Fender, a Fender ukulele gig bag and an instruction book to get you started. Mahalo!
