AnueNue UT214 'Cedar Bird' Solid Western Red Cedar & Indian Rosewood Tenor Ukulele W/Case #2

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

The cedar bird started life as a 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.

Simply a wonderful tenor uke. Photos show actual instrument.

Cool fact about the aNueNue Bird ukuleles - They were designed by a superstar Japanese Luthier called Mitsuta Morihiko who 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. Its subtle but the Bird' ukes have a unique body shape as well which you don't always spot because of the sheer cutaway design.

The fretboard is not dry or dirty as it might appear in the photos. aNueNue use variegated striped ebony on their fretboards, which shows up streaks of lighter wood in the grain.
