Augustino LoPrinzi began making ukuleles on a bit of a whim. Long-practiced in the design and handcrafting of guitars - both classical and steel stringed - Augustino was approached by Herb Ohta’s manager to create an instrument for the ukulele virtuoso. Ohta-San found the resulting ukulele to be a delight - and the LoPrinzi name soon became a legend on these small instruments.
This ukulele has Solid Koa top, back and sides with a natural satin finish. It has an Ebony fingerboard with Mother of Pearl dot position markers. It has a bone nut and saddle, Aquila strings and Grover friction tuning machines. Made in Clearwater, Florida, USA by Donna and Augustino Loprinzi.
