SPECIFICATIONS
Over 350 hours are put into carving and crafting the perfect Conchalele.™ All are made in Florida, USA from South Pacific Melon and Diadema shells based on geometric shape and reverberation. Sound is introduced by the geometrical shape determined by the Fibonacci mean in each natural formation of the shell. L.R. Baggs provides the undersaddle pickup with endpoint preamp and volume control. Loop feedback will never present disturbance in any configuration of stage or amplification setting. Allegheny Mountain Cherry wood is hand carved for each neck to perform with high end playing intonation. Fret boards are ebony with pearl inlay with gold fret wire. The neck and fretboard is accented with bone bridge and top nut, 18:1 gold Grovers for high end tuners.
The electric Conchalele™ was born out of a true appreciation for the tropical musical influence and the surroundings from the most beautiful beaches in the world. Never before has a style of music been matched so well with the unique tones and appearances of it's instrument.
The Conchalele™ was born from the symphonies of the sea, where the Ocean is without limits.
IMAGINATION
There is not another instrument in the world that has evolved as much as the Conchalele.™ From our early designs - to our most recent, we tend to forget the fact that these instruments “once walked on the bottom of the sea!” Now they have a new life and voice for the world to enjoy! The natural reverb created by nature’s design of the shell with the help of today’s modern technology produces a very unique tropical tone. Visually there is not a better instrument that identifies with the sounds of the ocean and the feel of burying your toes in the sand!
RECOGNITION
From the Florida Keys, across the Mid-West and all the way to Hawaii, the Conchalele™ has proven to be a positive energy source on stage by professional entertainers. From everyday fans of music - to some of the most respected names in the music industry, the first reaction after introduction is disbelief. Oh yea – and it sounds great too! No other instrument visually identifies better with Tropical Music than the Conchalele.™
From entertaining at the Hawaiian Ukulele Festival, to well known destinations in Key West, and Blue Ribbons at the Sanibel Island Shell Festival, it’s now the “Official String Instrument of the Conch Republic.” The Conchalele™ is quickly making its impact in the laid back sounds of Tropical mojo.
EVOLUTION
THE DESIGNS
Each electric Conchalele™ is hand carved and crafted with over 350 hours of attention to detail. The fret-board is Ukulele styled in that they are standard Ukulele Baritone, Tenor, Concert, and Soprano frets with chord forms and scales of that instrument. Classic nylon strings or steel strings also affect the sound. Gold fret wire and tuners accent the pearl inlay for high-end playing and performance. Baritone Conchaleles play similar to the guitar for chord forms and scales. The shell determines the unique tonality for each instrument. Cherry wood is carved for each neck to match the shell with precise intonation and playability. Inlay material is mother of pearl and abalone.
