Oliva Tenor Ukelele
Size: 23"l x 7.25"w x 3"h The Oliva Tenor Ukulele is made from a vintage Cigar Box with 2 oversized metallic sound holes adding a modern vibe to this lovely 4-String instrument. Our Tenor Ukulele comes with a piezo transducer pickup installed, a solid Maple neck and Camaroo fretboard. George caps the entire piece off with an ornately carved headstock featuring our String Tinkers' brand burned into the wood. The Oliva Ukulele sounds as good as it looks--acoustically or plugged in.
