A tenor ukulele featuring a beautiful Hawaiian koa grain top, rosewood sides and back, and a rich volume and clear resonance thanks to a new structural design, making it excellent for stage performance with its built-in pickup.
This is an all-solid model featuring a 4A grade solid Hawaiian koa top and solid Indian rosewood sides and back. Its elegant and understated appearance is beautiful.
In terms of acoustics, it adopts a newly developed "lattice bracing" (grid-like bracing structure). By maintaining the rigidity of the entire body while enhancing vibration efficiency, it produces a wide dynamic range and pleasant sustain. The bright and light mid-to-high range of koa and the deep bass of rosewood are harmoniously balanced, creating a strong presence whether playing solo or in an ensemble.
Furthermore, attention has been paid to details that enhance playability, such as the "Wedge angled neck joint" for smooth playing in higher positions, a newly designed neck shape that fits comfortably in the hand, and oil buffalo bone nuts & saddles that transmit string vibrations without loss. The fingerboard and headstock are adorned with pink abalone feather inlays, making this a meticulously crafted instrument down to the finest details.
This model is equipped with aNueNue's original "Air Blue" active pickup. In addition to the undersaddle piezo, it allows blending with a condenser microphone that captures the natural sound inside the body, enabling the output of a natural, airy ukulele sound directly to an amplifier or PA system. The controls behind the soundhole allow for intuitive tone adjustment even during performance.
