Here are pictures of my latest ukulele. It is a six string tenor
The body; top, sides and back are AAA solid Koa all book matched. That means all the pieces were cut from the same log. The fretboard and peg head are Ebony
The neck is Spanish Cedar. Very light and very strong. There is a 1/4 inch diameter carbon fiber rod in the neck running the length of the fretboard. This adds stiffness to the neck without adding much weight.
The rosette is Paua Abalone shell. The bridge is Ebony
The tuning keys are Grover open gear 16:1 turning ratio. The strings are made by Worth. A six string ukulele is tuned just like a four string, G,C,E,A. But a six string has the A string doubled an octave apart and the C string also is doubled and is an octave apart
