Hoffmann ukuleles are custom designed for the best possible sound and appearance. All the parts that go into the instrument, and the instrument as a whole are made to achieve the best structural integrity where needed. Structures that resist string load are made stiff and those that translate sound are made responsive. This goes a long way in producing a rich sound and great playing experience. The appearance of Hoffmann ukuleles is a form-follows-function approach that creates new opportunities for design variations. Everything from the neck joint to the body size is taken into consideration for a style and sound all their own.
