Monkey pod Concert Ukelele Sides

The Monkey pod or Sama is a wood very used in Ukuleles and Guitars, the tone is similar to the Mahogany with brighter shades that this one, also it can be compared with the sound that provides the black walnut.

 The appearance of an instrument finished with Monkeypod wood is spectacular, this wood is predestined to be one of the favorites of our luthiers. 

 

We are very careful when we select the Acoustic and Classic guitar sides because of knots, depending on where they are they can crack the sides during bending process.

We also have to take care when working with sides that are not quarter as they can crack easily during bending process. Despite all this, as with the exotic backs we can find flat cut sides, those would be perfect for these backs.
