USED Pono ATD-CR-E All Solid Cedar/Acacia Deluxe Electro Tenor Ukulele Gloss

Take the excellent all solid acacia gloss Pono ATD, add a high grade solid cedar top, and you have the Pono ATD-CR deluxe tenor ukulele. Cedar, as any classical guitarist will tell you, has great volume and projection like spruce, but a more mellow edge. 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. Plus, this model has a slightly radiused fretboard, so it feels slightly more familiar under the left hand to guitarists.

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

This tenor ukulele is a few years old, with some cosmetic marks (see pics) to the top and the back, but sounds absolutely wonderful, both plugged and unplugged. It would be an 8/10 condition-wise (the pictures do not show all the small marks) but there is loads of life left in this one! New price £660.

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.
