Lava ukulele info page. The website www.lavaukulele.com is coming soon!
Lava ukuleles are Solid Body Electric ukuleles handmade in the USA! The body and neck are cut on a high quality CNC machine, providing a consistency not always found on handmade instruments. The slots for the frets are also cut on a CNC machine insuring the best possible intonation. They are then carefully assembled and set up by Lava Technicians one at a time.
Lava ukuleles use a special B Band pickup for the best possible sound.
The B Band pickup uses a proprietary patented electret film technology instead of common
piezo materials. Piezo pickups tend to impart a sound of their own,
often described as "quacky" or "plastic", B-Band transducers act in
much the same way a condenser microphone does. This results in
excellent reproduction of your acoustic instrument's unique voice.
Lava ukuleles have a HZZLess™ preamp circuit
The HZZLess™ preamp circuit is a special design that not only
reduces signal noise but, because it integrates with B-Band pickups
more closely, it also increases the signal output. All B-Band pickups
are made with the relatively new invention Emfit film. The pickups have
special properties and now the B-Band developers have to come up with a
way to harness those special specifications into a higher and cleaner
output that can be better used by everyday professional sound
electronics. The results are a respectable 6dB higher signal
output with a 9dB reduction in signal noise. The user will find how
easy the new louder volume will fit with their equipment and will be
knocked out by the huge tone that is produced. Clean and loud! B Band Pickup and Preamp features: - Volume control
