Concert Ukulele APC C OAK in Solid Oak

The APC C Oak is a concert ukulele that carries with it the essence of Portuguese tradition combined with the sonic charm of the Hawaiian spirit.

Handcrafted in Portugal, the APC C Oak ukulele attracts the attention of those looking for an authentic instrument, crafted with passion and attention to detail. Constructed from solid oak and finished in an open pore, the APC C Oak offers not only a distinctive visual presence, but also a rich and immersive sound capable of inspiring hours of musical exploration.

The solid oak body offers a full, balanced resonance with great depth. The wood, known for its density and elegant natural patterns, allows each note to ring out with clarity and warmth, filling the space with a welcoming timbre that pleases both the player and the listener. The open pore finish preserves the natural characteristics of the oak, allowing the sound to breathe freely and ensuring an authentic acoustic experience.

The concerto model is a great choice for those who want to go beyond the soprano format, offering a slightly larger body, a longer scale and a greater number of frets, all of which translate into more comfortable playability and a fuller sound. This format allows you to explore chords and melodies with greater expressiveness, making the APC C Oak an ideal companion for both solo sessions and group playing. Aquila Nylgut strings further enhance the sound projection, ensuring tuning stability and a bright sound that enhances each interpretation.

The ukulele is a direct descendant of the Portuguese cavaquinho, and carries with it a fascinating historical heritage. It was taken by Brazilian sailors to Hawaii, where it quickly gained popularity and became a symbol of local music. Decades later, it has become one of the most beloved instruments in the world, thanks to its simplicity, portability and ability to create light and joyful atmospheres. By choosing the APC C Oak, you are joining a history that spans oceans and generations, celebrating a tradition that continues to live on in every chord.
