Information on Moore Bettah Ukuleles
Moore Bettah Ukuleles are traditionally-built by an independent luthier whose career started when a local man asked him to build a ukulele out of a coconut. All of these instruments are built from scratch, by hand, using a mix of modern technology and traditional methods. The factory is an independent workshop, located in Opihikao, on one of the more remote sections of the Big Island. The Big Island is also the best source of koa wood, a traditional material used by this manufacturer in the creation of the instruments.
The process begins with the environment, which is humidity controlled to avoid over-acclimating the wood to Hawaii's very humid environs. This ensures that these instruments will not suffer damage from changes in the climate when they are shipped to their owners.
Moore Bettah Ukuleles are made entirely of locally-available woods including koa, mango and kiawe. There are no plywood or veneer components used in these instruments. Each of these woods has its own tonal characteristics which are imparted to the instrument. Koa wood is in particularly high demand and the supply is diminishing.
Bindings and fret board materials include ebony, cocobolo and other species of non-endangered rainforest woods. Ornamentations such as rosettes and fingerboard inlays are made with black pearl shells and fossil walrus ivory. Materials such as composite stone and abalone shell are also used in this part of the process.
Each Moore Bettah Ukulele is manufactured over a period of two months, which allows the instrument to settle after it's been worked on. The final stage involves the lacquering which protects and fills the wood and adds a lustrous finish to the instrument. These ukuleles are dried for two weeks before the final finish is applied, resulting in a durable surface that resists damage from use.

Gibson J-185 Custom Quilted Maple with Vine Inlay Acoustic Guitar VS $3699 In addition to the great features of all Gibson J-185 models, this special edition features a custom rose vine fingerboard inlay and quilted maple back & sides. The first Gibson J-185 was introduced in 1951, giving players a broader choice of flat-top acoustic guitars. It quickly became a hit. With a slightly smaller body than Gibson's fabled Super Jumbos, the J-185 offers an excellent alternative for players seeking a smaller body style without sacrificing acoustic power and projection. Traditionally, the J-185 features a body length of 20-1/4", a width of 16", and a body depth of 4-7/8", producing an big sound with clear acoustics, making it equally impressive for powerful strumming or delicate fingerpicking, and everything in between. Nickel Grover Rotomatic Tuners Grover's original Rotomatic tuners are an engineering marvel, with style and performance exactly suited for the J-185. With a gear ratio of 14:1, the Rotomatics deliver precision tuning in a durable housing that provides maximum protection for the gear and string post. All moving parts are cut for exact meshing, eliminating the possibility of slippage. A countersunk tension screw lets players regulate the tuning tension to any degree. A special lubricant inside the gear box provides smooth and accurate tuning stability. Crown Peghead Logo Gibson put the first crown peghead logo on an ES-300 back in 1940, and it has graced the headstocks of many legendary Gibson guitars ever since, including today's J-185. Over the years, it has also been called a "thistle" because of the group of flowering plants with the sharp prickles, though Gibson has preferred to call it a "crown." Pickguard The tortoise pickguard for the J-185 is Gibson's standard 1950s-style Jumbo shape. As with all of Gibson Acoustic's pickguards, the coloring, inlay, and binding are all crafted by hand. Rosette A rosette is the beautiful, hand-crafted circle around the soundhole, and can be one of the most ornamental elements of any acoustic guitar. It is also one of the most subtle and complicated woodworking decorations on any acoustic guitar. The rosette on the J-185 is a double-ring rosette, with the main ring consisting of seven-ply binding, and the second ring three-ply binding, adding a stylish, understated elegance to the J-185. Rosewood Fingerboard with Rolled Edges and Custom Rose Vine Fingerboard Inlay The fingerboard of Gibson's J-185 is constructed from the highest grade rosewood on earth, which is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled experts before it enters the Gibson factories. The resilience of this durable wood makes the fingerboard extremely balanced and stable, and gives each chord and note unparalleled clarity and bite. The J-185's rose vine inlays are made of genuine mother of pearl, |
