Art You Can Actually Play
If you've ever wanted to hold a piece of art history in your hands while you make music, the Luna Great Wave Concert Ukulele might be exactly what you're looking for. The top of this concert uke features a reproduction of Hokusai's iconic woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1830–1833) — one of the most recognized images in the history of art — painted right onto the mahogany body. It's a conversation starter before you play a single note.
Beyond the eye-catching artwork, this is a solid, approachable concert uke built for everyday playing. The all-mahogany body and neck deliver that warm, rounded tone concert-size ukes are known for, and the walnut fingerboard and bridge add a touch of visual contrast and tonal warmth. It's the kind of instrument that looks like it belongs on a shelf — but plays better than that.
The concert body size sits right between soprano and tenor: a little more room on the fretboard and a bit more projection than a soprano, without feeling unwieldy. Whether you're just getting started or looking for a fun second uke with personality, this one covers a lot of ground.
The Great Wave, Front and Center
Luna co-founder Yvonne de Villiers started the company with a simple idea: instruments should be as beautiful to look at as they are to play. The Great Wave graphic on this uke puts that philosophy on full display. The crest of the wave breaks just beneath the soundhole, framing it in a way that looks intentional and dynamic rather than slapped on.
That soundhole itself is one of the more distinctive details here — it's a crescent-shaped cutout rather than a traditional round opening, which plays visually off the moon phase mother-of-pearl inlays running up the walnut fretboard. It's a cohesive design that clearly had a plan behind it.
Feel and Playability
The C-shaped mahogany neck is comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes, with a flat fretboard radius that keeps chord shapes easy and consistent across the 20-fret walnut fingerboard. The nut measures 1 5/16" wide — a standard concert uke width that most players find comfortable right out of the box.
Pearloid open-gear tuners handle tuning duties, and the 15" scale length sits right in the sweet spot for concert ukes. The walnut bridge completes the look and contributes to the instrument's overall warmth. This uke ships strung with Aquila strings, a go-to choice in the ukulele world known for their consistent feel and tone.
