On tour from Hawaii, the Ukulele first gained widespread recognition among stateside music fans at the 1915 Panama Pacific International Expo in San Francisco. Down-the-road and nearly a century later Blackbird Guitars is giving the Ukulele a 2010 reinvention with their proprietary hollow-neck, all-carbon fiber construction. This exceptionally loud and tonally rich instrument is as responsive as it is resilient and will inspire ukulele players to bring their music places no nice wood instrument should ever go—like the beach.

The Blackbird Super Orchestra Model has a cannon voice with
dreadnought volume and fullness but is compact and 3D sculpted with
body cuts for enhanced comfort and playability. The tone goes above and
beyond convention with uncommon sustain, perfect clarity and string
balance the length of the fretboard. The OM’s power and clarity is born
from Blackbird’s holistic approach to maximizing resonance: a
proprietary hollow neck and head carbon-fiber uni-body construction,
asymmetric design with off-set sound hole, as well as a head and body
