AnueNue US214 Cedar Bird - Western Red Cedar/Indian Rosewood Soprano Ukulele w/Case

For lovers of the aNueNue moonbird series, you're going to be delighted with the new cedar bird ukuleles. This soprano ukulele is made with solid Canadian Western red cedar and Indian rosewood and comes with a free case. 

The cedar bird started life as a lower spec World of Ukes exclusive, then aNueNue made it a Ukulele Site exclusive... Now everyone can finally enjoy this wonderful addition to the moonbird series. The 'Cedar bird' is a combination of Western Red Cedar and East Indian Rosewood. It's so, so loud but clear and mature sounding. If spruce is direct then cedar hits you in the feels like a deeper voiced cousin with life experience.

This soprano is a truly wonderful uke. Photos show an average example.

Cool fact about the aNueNue bird ukuleles: they were designed by a superstar Japanese Luthier called Mitsuta Morihiko. He spent more than a year tweaking the shape and bracing for the Birds working back and forth with James Hill, Kalei Gamiao and Kyas. He calls the unique central positioning of the soundhole and top brace the Mount Fuji-voice brace. It's subtle but the bird ukes have a unique body shape as well which you don't always spot because of the sheer cutaway design.
