California based Blackbird Guitars introduces the world's first natural fibre composites concert-level ukulele - named Clara - made from Bcomp's ampliTex fabrics. 
 
According to Joe Luttwak, Blackbird's chief musical officer. "With the Clara, musicians get what was previously unobtainable -- the experience of a vintage old-growth wood instrument in a lightweight, durable, and sustainable package." 
 
About Bcomp:
 
Bcomp is based in Fribourg, Switzerland. Its history goes back to 2003, when one of the founders was producing the first fat powder skis on a carbon fibre base. Two ambitious engineers contacted him to improve the existing ski core structure.
 
With plenty of endurance during infinite garage research nights and powder weekends, the friends developed novel fibre composite technologies and discovered the advantages of natural fibres. This was the spark for the idea to produce performing sustainable products for the Sports & Leisure industry.
