aNueNue X Luthier Mitsuta
Selected 4A Grade Hawaiian Koa
Curly or wavy patterns are rarer and are typically found in the old-growth trees. Figured is also desired and typically milled from areas of the tree where there is the most stress. For example, where the branch forks or twists. Pressure from the weight of the branch and/or stress created by the wind often causes the tree to develop this figuring.
Koa wood is arguably one of the most beautiful woods in the world. It is special in its own right because of its unique figuring, colors, and textures. All of which is influenced and determined by the age of the tree, its elevation and soil in which it grows. Koa’s colors range from light golden blonde to auburn red, to deep chocolate brown.
Built from solid AA Hawaiian Koa, these instruments are very alluring and pleasing to the eye. Constructed with traditional fan bracing, the 1K series offers a very sweet and balanced sound. These rich and pleasant overtones are sure to please your ears.
The 3K Series is very charming. Built from solid 4A Hawaiian Koa, the 3K series offers Mitsuta's unique Mount Fuji-voiced X bracing. This type of bracing produces very clear and warm sounding overtones. Hawaiian Koa wood adds natural compression to balance out aggressive playing while maintaining clarity and warm lows.
5A Hawaiian Koa is extremely beautiful and breathtaking. Our 5K series features Mitsuta's signature Mount Fuji-voiced X brace. These instruments produce very clear overtones, warm mids, and deep lows. 5A Koa wood is slightly more dense/hard which creates an extremely well-balanced tone, good dynamic range, rich lows, and long sustain.
