Details

Taking the already excellent Pono AT satin tenor and adding Ebony in place of the rosewood fittings, and a very sexy gloss finish was always going to result in something amazing. The wood is astonishing to look at - the gloss brings out every nuance in the colour and grain pattern - almost holographic in its detail. The sound is equally beautiful - to our ears it has an extraordinary harp-like sound, like its sister the AT, but with more brightness and crispness in the sound. The sound feels a little more immediate, and the sustain just that little bit longer - small things on their own perhaps, but all together making a sensational playing and listening experience.

This is the thinline deluxe version of the ATD, which has a slightly thinner body of 6cms depth as opposed to the normal 8cms, which results in a very easy to hold and manage stage ukulele. The acoustic sound is very pleasing, a little more trebly than its wider siblings, but lovely nontheless.

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.
