USED Pono AB All Solid Acacia Baritone Ukulele Satin finish

Please note that this used Pono AB baritone is for sale to UK based customers only!

The all solid acacia makes this Pono one of the best value, best sounding and best looking baritone ukuleles in its class. Similar to koa tonally, the acacia gives a beautiful chime to the sound, with bags of sustain and a very refined, balanced tone.

The satin finish on this Pono AB baritone uke helps to round the sound out little as well so the bass sounds very rich and smooth indeed. It is when playing up the fretboard that you realise how good the sustain and intonation is. Even very high up, notes take a long time to die, and they are well in tune as well.

Suitable for all styles of playing, very classy all round!

Photos show actual instrument you will receive. This one is in very good condition for a used uke, with only slight glossing of the top bout where the strumming hand brushes the top. Otherwise, I struggle to find a mark on it! So, 9.5+/10 cosmetically.

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.
