Renaissance is proud to introduce it's
first official truly acoustic instruments, the "Compass Rose" line of ukuleles.
The tone of the Compass Rose tenor ukulele is warm, punchy, and clear with
volume to spare. Renaissance all-walnut bodied Tenor Uke features a cantilevered
extended fingerboard, a fan-braced top, and the familiar Turner/Renaissance "A"
line peghead. Renaissance Ukuleles are inspired by the shape of a late 19th
Century parlor mandolin produced by the Elias Howe Instrument Co. of Boston and
designed by James Orme, a Canadian luthier. Renaissance has combined old and new
elements in their design to offer the best of all worlds for discriminating
Ukulele players of all levels of performance. Renaissance Guitars incredibly
pleased that two top acoustic musicians, Daniel Ho and John Jorgenson (Elton
John, Hellecasters, John Jorgenson Group) feel that Compass Rose has nailed the
sound they like and have made a recording-worthy instrument.
