Whether you are trekking, sailing, on stage or in the studio, the Blackbird Rider performs and is the best travel acoustic made. The resonance-driven design features a proprietary hollow neck and head, one–piece carbon fiber construction, providing a seemingly physics-defying, full and balanced tone with strong bass, clear mids and crystalline trebles as well as uncanny sustain. Leave your nice wooden guitar at home because the big sound, small body Rider is nearly indestructible, unaffected by humidity, ultra-light, and compact— but has full-size loudness and richness.

BTU Ukulele
An exceptionally responsive and resiliant ukulele 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 Ukulele sets a new bar for a compact, lightweight, and tonally-satisfying travel instrument that is durable and immune to the humidity problems that impact its wooden counterparts. Shown with 'Blackout option' hardware- tuner buttons, nut and saddle. Standard hardware white. BUY NOW

John, Seattle, Washington “In short, I love the Blackbird ukulele. It is a head turner for sure, and my playing friends who have seen it have played it and all agree it is tops. I love the sound; not wood, it has resonance and a voice that is all it's own that works well by itself and blends in nicely with others in a group. The voice and response is even across all strings no matter how aggressive the attack.
