Pono MSD All Solid Mahogany Deluxe Soprano Ukulele Gloss

Small, perfectly formed and a joy on the ears! Some soprano ukuleles can sound shrill, but this little wonder has a very sweet voice with a good balance across the frequency spectrum. Being a gloss model ensures that the sound is brighter and zingier that its sister, the satin Pono MS, and the addition of Ebony fittings help to increase the volume and sustain a little, making it to our ears at least a very complete sounding soprano instrument, capable of great dynamic range and expression. 

Solid Mahogany top, back, and sides

Ebony faceplate, fingerboard, and bridge

Rope marquetry rosette, pearl logo and position dots

Bone nut and saddle

Gloss Finish

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 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.
