Furthermore, it's larger size still offers comfort, but also offers a louder, richer sound.
Stage Ready
Grace has performed since being a child. Open mic nights became difficult, as she found her acoustic uke difficult to mic up and perform with. With her being such a lively performer, her stage presence has always been a natural thing for her. This led to Grace banging her ukulele multiple times into the mic setup at ukulele height. Grace needed a ukulele that sounds stunning on stage, with the convenience of on-board electronics.
Thus comes the Fender Grace VanderWaal Zuma Ukulele. Equipped with a Fishman Kula preamp system, you can take to the stage or studio with ease. Controls for volume, bass, mid, and treble allow you to tweak your amplified tone to personal preference. A phase button also offers the reduction of undesirable feedback. Perfect for Grace fans or those ready for the stage. Get inspired, take to the stage, and start your path of performance.
Bone Nut
A real bone nut offers excellent resonance and sustain, along with an authentic appearance. The Zuma's bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and is certain to last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self-lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
