Description
The Noah Delta Concert ukulele is crafted from premium all-solid woods, featuring an Indian rosewood body and a spruce top for a rich, resonant tone. The reason behind the name ‘Delta’ is that I really wanted a model which gave a nod to Vietnam and the area in which they are made. The Mekong Delta is such an important part of Vietnamese life and culture, and is not far from where I lived and not far from where our head luthier, Mr Anh, lives. The boat trip I took on the Mekong Delta in my first weeks after arriving in Vietnam is still one of the best things I’ve ever done, and so with all of that considered, Delta, felt like a good choice!
In terms of decoration, we’ve gone for a less is more approach and let the woods be the main event – so maple bindings, an inlaid Indian Rosewood soundhole rosette and we’ve left the fretboard blank (but with side dot markers to indicate fret position). There’s a bound side sound hole to project part of the sound towards the player, while friction tuners offer vintage-style precision. The ukulele’s 37mm nut width provides comfortable finger spacing, ideal for intricate playing. Equipped with a bone nut and saddle, this instrument delivers excellent intonation and sustain and think is a great choice for musicians seeking a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design elements.
This ukulele was reviewed on Got A Ukulele in September 2024, getting the highest overall review score of any Noah to date – 9.3 out of 10! You can read the full review here.

I had a great response from Matt, and as I have a few Tenors, I chose this Delta Concert.
It arrived in good time, excellent condition, and straight out of the box it played sweetly and crisply. I really like these side sound ports. You can hear yourself clearly and helps when you’re practising. The nut width is also comfortable. This is going to be by my side all the time and picked up and played constantly.

So happy with my Delta Concert Ukulele so well made with care and beautiful woods. It is so comfortable to play with the extra nut width and rounded shape giving a lovely sweet, crisp tone. The set up was spot on so I could play straight away. This is definitely my go to Ukulele.
