The prize this year is a Sonny “D” Ohta-san bell-shape concert ‘ukulele, handmade in Hawai’i by Sonny Dahlin–’ukulele builder for the stars. The sound board is Alaskan yellow cedar with blond koa back and sides. It has an ebony fretboard with 14 exposed frets (19 total), a neck of African mahogany, and koa crown. The Schaller tuners are silver with pearloid buttons. The rosette is olivewood and the bindings are maple. It is beautifully balanced and has fret markers on the top of the fretboard and down the side, so you can see them while you’re playing.
