The Luna honu Concert Ukulele (or Alto Ukulele), is slightly bigger than the soprano uke. With a longer profile and a fuller tone than the soprano uke, the people who with larger hands tend to move toward this instrument.
Also, for guitar players making their mind divert to the Ukulele, is a little easier access to the upper fret registry. As a beginner, anyone can expect great playability and quality sound with this uke. It’s an excellent selection for pros, beginners or children.
Behind our acoustic guitar line, Luna Guitars has modeled the encouragement, and the result is now world-recognized Luna Honu Mahogany Concert Ukulele. Since 2005 Luna has been manufacturing guitars and there are some guitar companies who started and headed by a woman, Yvonne de Villiers. Luna Honu Mahogany Concert Ukulele is the best ukulele of the luna brand.
Anyway, I have come across several luna ukulele reviews and it seems to me like myself and other players are saying almost the same thing about the brand.

Before I proceed to show you some features of the Luna Concert ukulele that really attracted me, let me share with you some facts about the design and shape of the Luna uke.
Design and shape of the Luna Honu Mahogany Concert Ukulele
Even as you sit by the seaside to enjoy the rhythmic sound of your precious ukulele with your friends or loved ones, you still want them to appreciate the beauty of your ukulele. Unlike other Concert ukuleles, the Luna Honu Concert ukulele’s design and shape make it irresistible.
In fact, it is a perfect representation of the traditional Hawaiian body ornamentation, with monochromatic designs, tattooed in black ink color against the brown skin.
There is more to the design, but I will like to show you the most important feature. What about the shape of this ukulele? Yes, the Luna uke is guitar shaped.
So, if you like to seat and hold your ukulele like a classical guitar, this shape will make more sense. In this position, the guitar shaped ukulele will “lock-in” better than other shapes of a ukulele. Well, different players may have their own opinion but from experience, this is the best for newbies.

Oh yes, I can’t forget to tell you my experience with other features like the body, bag, and fretboard of this ukulele. I will share with you what I found out about each of them. Let’s get to business.
Body of Luna Honu Mahogany Concert Ukulele
Everybody wants to buy a product that is durable. In fact, the quality of your ukulele’s body matters a lot. That’s why you must check carefully to see the type of material used to construct its body
Apart from its durability, the quality of sound produced by your ukulele brand is also determined by the quality of the material used for constructing the product.
That is why you must choose your material carefully. However, the back, top, sides and neck of the luna concert ukulele is made of a solid mahogany material which is known to produce great sound when used for constructing ukulele.
However, if you check other luna guitar’s review, you will see a lot of positive comments about mahogany wood. It doesn’t crack like other wood and it resonates well.
Luna Honu Mahogany Concert Ukulele bag
Okay, I know someone would laugh at this but it is obviously part of the reason my own luna ukulele lasted for quite a long time. You see, although I was always careful but I wasn’t always there to protect my ukulele but the bag did it for me.
Well, the good thing about this is that I didn’t have to pay an extra to get the bag it came with the product just like that.
However, everyone needs a Concert ukulele case and I must say this Luna ukulele case was amazing. It is made of quality fabric material that is stiff enough to protect the ukulele.
In fact, this Concert ukulele cover is priceless I must say. If you consider the Luna ukulele price, you will wonder while the product still comes with a cover.
Also, if you are thinking of traveling with your ukulele always, then you have nothing to worry about. This brand of the ukulele is very easy to transport because of its lightweight. Your gig back can also be used to carry your ukulele conveniently.
The fretboard of Luna Honu Tatto Concert Ukulele
Topping the neck is a washy rosewood fingerboard of marvelous quality. Amazing for strumming and playing chords.
Throughout the years I played this ukulele, I notice that the sound quality it produces is always consistent. I was thinking a different thing until I did research and found out some unique features about the material “rosewood.”
Ukuleles that are made of rosewood fretboards always deliver great sound. So, since the luna honu mahogany ukulele is made of similar material, your guess is as good as mine.
