The carbon fiber uke is crystal clear, with great resonance. It's like playing glass. Almost a little too perfect for the beach. I'm actually going to try swapping the strings for a warmer sound. I would give 5 stars, but it came with a tiny scratch on the back. No big deal. 4.5 stars.
Wonderful... but still getting used to the very tight curve of the neck profile. I prefer a flatter neck profile, but I’m beginning to get used to my KLOS Hybrid Tenor. Even during Covid, some of us are getting together weekly (masked and socially-distanced) for our regular song circle and even doing a regularly-scheduled gig. Seattle is still experiencing smoke from wildfires so no outdoor gatherings this week. I haven’t been able to actually show off my KLOS CF Hybrid Tenor yet. I may get the opportunity on Friday at another ukulele gathering (Kanikapila) in Snohomish. Meanwhile playing at home and getting used to the Tenor size and the neck profile. Great voice and volume. Love the CF look and feel. Thank you, KLOS!
I love how light and portable this ukulele is. The best part is how amazing it sounds whether playing it naturally or plugging it in. Great job Klos!
Hard to say, I'm just a beginner player so still trying to learn to play and have something different.
Love the carbon fiber ukulele. Sounds fantastic, looks amazing. Great customer service.
Carbon fiber is an infusion of the most durable fibers and the strongest resin, commonly used in the aerospace industry. This creates a lighter, more durable instrument, with more volume than a similarly sized wooden counterpart.
KLOS carbon fiber is never post-processed—our guitars are naturally beautiful without sanding, polishing or painting. This is the way they come out of the press. There will often be small marks, crease lines, or fiber distortions from this process, true hallmarks of a genuine carbon fiber guitar.
Carbon fiber stiffening rods provide a constant and unchanging force that goes through the whole neck, minimizing the effects of temperature and humidity changes on the neck. If you live in a climate that changes with the seasons, or if you plan on traveling, stiffening rods are especially beneficial.
Carbon fiber is much stronger and more resistant than wood. The one-piece body makes a very strong structure all around, whereas wooden ukuleles need bracing and kerfing at the juncture of the back piece to the side piece to support the thin wood and corners. On the KLŌS ukulele, there are no bottom corners to crack or dent.
The KLŌS ukulele soundboard is a sandwich
panel composed of three layers. The outer
layers are carbon fiber with a lightweight
and low-density composite core material in
between. The result is durability with flexibility,
which produces an amazing sound.
We use the strongest aerospace-grade epoxy
and an internal bolt to create a very strong
connection between the neck and the body,
which is a common area for breaks in wooden
ukuleles. Combined with precision fret leveling
and polishing and hand-crafted playability, the
neck feels amazing to play.
