Mahalo MR1BK Rainbow Series Soprano Ukulele – high-gloss black, Aquila Super Nylgut strings, gold-plated “Dolphin” geared tuners, Graph Tech NuBone XB saddle, carry bag included
Bold, sleek and ready for anything, the high-gloss black Mahalo MR1BK turns every sing-along into an after-hours session. Its feather-light sengon body and fast 346 mm soprano scale keep those island chords snug under your fingers, while the sturdy jabon neck and smooth mahogany fingerboard invite effortless slides and hammer-ons. A precisely cut Graph Tech NuBone XB saddle pushes projection and bass response far beyond the uke’s petite frame, helped along by factory-fitted Aquila Super Nylgut strings that deliver a tone both fuller and louder than you’d ever expect at this price.
Reliability is a given: silky gold-plated, geared “Dolphin” machine heads lock in pitch for hours of beach jams or open-mic sets, and 12 nickel frets ensure clean intonation right up the neck. The mirror-like black lacquer seals the wood from humidity swings and reflects stage lights with cinematic flair. When the set ends, the instrument slips into its included carry bag—road-ready in seconds.
Whether you’re discovering your first C–F–G progression or layering a noir counter-melody in the studio, the MR1BK brings playability, durability and stealthy style in equal measure. And because you’re buying through Elit Music—over 30 years of expertise and one of the region’s most diverse catalogues— every Mahalo arrives inspected, adjusted and ready to steal the spotlight from the very first chord.
