Full Description

Luna UK-T2 Preamp with Tuner

The Luna Vintage Concert Electro features an on-board Luna UK-T2 preamp with built-in tuner, which enables players to take their Vintage Soprano to the stage and enjoy its sonically pleasing tones. The UK-T2 is equipped with bass, treble and volume controls, along with a built-in tuner. The Luna Preamp provides precise tuning and easy amplification that can be set up quickly to your personal preference.

Concert Body Size

The concert ukulele size is slightly larger than the classic soprano, making it more manageable for larger players. Creating a more melodic, deeper and fuller sound, it makes it ideal for concert playing as they have good projection. The longer scale length makes the notes carry for longer and with its extra comfort, it is often a preferred choice for ukulele beginners.

Mahogany Construction

The Vintage Concert Electro Uke is constructed with a mahogany body for a focused yet punchy tone. The mahogany delivers meaty mids, along with excellent richness and resonance to enhance the full baritone sound.

Mahogany Neck & Walnut Fingerboard

The Luna Concert Electro's neck is crafted from mahogany, and offers a rich, resonant sound as well as great durability. For increased comfort, the Luna Vintage Concert Ukulele has a C shaped neck profile that reduces the likeliness of a cramping hand. The mahogany neck is paired with a walnut fingerboard which offers an earthy sound with unique tonalities, for an overall deep, warm ukulele sound that is well-balanced.

Luna History

Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars.

Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. Yvonne moved on to created Luna guitars, a line of guitars made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent.

Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour, she then applied the same techniques as she did with her award winning stained glass work to her new line of guitars. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver. Yvonne's design expertise has led so many men to respond to Luna's well-crafted, spirit-engaging instruments that the company now creates guitars for both female and male musicians of all ages.
