Kamaka HB-2 Bell Shape Concert

Designed for Legendary Tone and Playability

Affectionately nicknamed the “Ohta-san Bell,” this Kamaka Concert Bell-Shaped Ukulele was created by luthier Sam Kamaka Jr. for ukulele virtuoso Herb Ohta Sr. Its slightly larger, bell-shaped body enhances resonance and projection, producing a rich, full tone that beautifully complements Ohta-san’s melodic style.

Distinctive Design and Signature Sound

Crafted from select Hawaiian koa, this ukulele delivers exceptional tonal warmth and clarity. The unique body design provides a deeper low-end response and a broader dynamic range, making it perfect for expressive fingerpicking and solo performance.

Handcrafted Hawaiian Excellence

Built with locally sourced koa wood, each instrument showcases Kamaka’s century-long tradition of craftsmanship. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard and bridge ensure smooth playability and elegant tone balance, while the mother-of-pearl logo and satin finish add refined visual appeal.

Includes Kamaka Hard Case

Every Kamaka ukulele comes with a custom Kamaka-branded hard case, built to fit snugly and protect your instrument. The case features a velvet lining, arched top, and an accessory compartment for tuners, cloths, and small essentials.
