Mahalo's "Master" Series: The Demand for All Solid Wood
At the top of the Mahalo range, the "Master" series emphasizes wood selection and meticulous handcrafting. The MM4 is aimed at musicians seeking a premium baritone ukulele, whose refined details-multilayer wooden purflings, ivoroid-style tuning pegs-serve both music and aesthetics. The matte finish allows the body to resonate and reveals the deep grain of the noble tonewoods.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced ukulele players, as well as guitarists looking for a natural transition to the D-G-B-E tuning of the baritone. The MM4 excels in vocal accompaniment, fingerstyle, picking, and folk, with reliable tuning stability and a dynamic response that inspires nuanced playing as well as strong strumming.
Sound
The solid red cedar top offers a quick and warm attack with silky highs. The solid mahogany back and sides enhance woody midrange, a rich low end, and singing sustain. The exclusive ToneFlow bracing frees the body while ensuring stability and projection. The Amara ebony fingerboard and bridge add definition and precision to attacks, while the bone nuts promote excellent vibration transfer. The result: a full, expressive tone perfectly balanced across the entire neck.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve and optimize your MM4, consider a replacement set of Aquila Super Nylgut baritone strings, a clip-on chromatic tuner (universal compatibility), and a microfiber cloth for daily maintenance. With the included gig bag, you are ready to travel safely.
