Owen Anderson Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 A while ago I got to try out a Blackbird Clara ukulele, which is made from eKoa, a flax-based composite material that looks and sounds a lot like wood, but can be molded like carbon fiber. To cut to the chase, it sounded absolutely gorgeous. The eKoa allows a lot of design features on the ukulele that just wouldn't be possible with traditional wood construction. I was recalling the experience this morning, and the idea occurred to me that perhaps some aspiring concertina maker could find interesting applications for this material.

Luke Hillman Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 That is a very pretty uke. I remember reading somewhere recently that @Wally Carroll has made some concertinas with resin instead of wood. I wonder if this would be similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
