Pono MTDC Solid Mahogany Cutaway Deluxe Gloss Tenor Ukulele

Take the already excellent satin finish Pono MT, add a beautiful gloss finish, a cutaway, and replace the Rosewood fittings with Ebony and you have the very wonderful Pono MTDC Deluxe Tenor. The gloss finish not only makes the grain in the wood look absolutely sensational, but brightens the sound as well, as the wood is hardened by the gloss finish. And the Ebony fittings help to increase the sustain and volume, as it is a denser wood than Rosewood so fewer vibrations are soaked up, meaning more sound.

This instrument can handle anything asked of it with ease. Fingerpicking, even at low intensity, is crystal clear with bags of sustain, lead playing and chord playing up the neck intonates well and retains the volume you get in the first few positions, and chord strumming sounds very clear, each note in the chord separated nicely, and very well balanced. And the cutaway allows you free access up to the dusty end as well.

This Gloss Pono Tenor is the brighter of the two - if you want an even mellower sound, the satin finish Pono MT would be a better choice.
