Lanikai LU-21C Concert Ukulele

Lanikai LU-21C Concert Ukulele Review


See more picture


I went to an OMEA convention and went to a vendor stand with a variety of Ukulele and the best one there was the Lanikai S-C. I wanted to save some money so I decided to go with the LU-21C. It's the same quality of build, but has a mahogany plywood top instead of a spruce top. This means that it lacks some higher overtones (it's warmer, darker, what ever you want to say.) I've played many crappy instruments for around this price range and bellow and this one is not a crappy instrument. The only thing that needed some set up was the nut, but that is a common problem and a quick fix on most low end guitars and ukes. Most manufacturers ship such instruments out with a high nut. Are you not sure you want a ukulele? Get this one to find out.

Lanikai LU-21C Concert Ukulele Feature

  • Lanikai's best-selling concert size ukelele
  • Nato top, back, and sides with white binding
  • 18-fret rosewood fretboard with dot inlays
  • Chrome die-cast tuning machines
  • Limited lifetime warranty
  • Easy Playablity
  • Die Cast Tuners
  • Concert Sized, 18 Frets
The LU series is Lanikai's most popular and most affordable. They are a perfect first stop for acoustic multi-instrumentalist looking to expand their tonal palette or the first time player just beginning their lifelong love of music. The LU-21C is a concert uke featuring nato wood construction with a white binding, chrome die-cast tuners, and a rosewood fretbaord.

Concert Ukeleles
There are four common types of ukes out there: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano was the original, followed up quickly with the concert size uke. The 15-inch scale length and slightly larger body size deliver a deeper tone and a bit more volume, while maintaining the sweetness and instantly recognizable ukulele sound.

The Lanikai LU Series
Lanikai's most popular and affordable models, the LU series features classic designs and beautiful wood, with plenty of attention to detail. All LU series ukuleles include an instruction booklet to guide you with these easy to learn instruments.

Nato Top, Back, and Sides
Nato, often referred to as "Eastern Mahogany," delivers wonderful playablility and tone without an accompanying high price tag. Used with Ukeleles, it provides a nice, pronounced mid-range with a mellow high-end.

White Binding
The body of the LU-21C features white binding, for a nice contrast/framing of the red-tinted finish, and an all-around beautiful instrument.

Rosewood Fretboard
Just as with guitars, rosewood makes an ideal fretboard tone wood for ukes.

Die-Cast Tuners
Lanikai's die-cast tuning machines provide solid tuning, so strum away confidently.
