Pono ATDC-SP All Solid Spruce/Acacia Deluxe Tenor Cutaway Ukulele Gloss

Take the excellent all solid acacia gloss Pono ATD, add a high grade solid spruce top and a cutaway, and you have the Pono ATDC-SP deluxe tenor. Spruce, as any acoustic guitarist will tell you, has a lovely full response over the entire frequency range, and has a real punch and immediacy to it when strummed vigorously and driven hard.

This tenor ukulele has great expressive range so fingerpicking sounds really sweet and balanced as well. This particular model also features a cutaway so if you are after a high quality all rounder which will give you smooth and creamy sounding bass and mids, and decent treble presence as well, then this will be your answer.

And if you do go up the neck to use that expensive cutaway you will find that the instrument loses none of the presence in the sound, and the intonation remains class leading.

All the normal deluxe Pono fittings such as the ebony on the fretboard and bridge, and a lovely gloss finish add up to make this a superb precision tool which can handle pretty much anything you throw at it!

About the Pono line: The “Pono” line is made by Ko’olau one of the oldest and most traditional Hawaiian ukulele manufacturers. Ko’olau’s goal throughout the years has been to provide the highest quality stringed instruments available with a high standard of craftsmanship. And besides methods of construction to optimize tone and volume, they stress the importance of cosmetic beauty.

It is of interest to note that only the finest grades of quartersawn hardwoods, such as acacia, mahogany, rosewood, and ebony are selected for Pono instruments. However, only 20% pass the stringent requirements of density, grain patterns, flexibility, and cosmetic aesthetics. This is virtually unknown, especially in the Asian import market. We are proud of the fact that all of the Pono instruments are made of solid woods.
