Essential Information About the "Au70Wc Art. Uke" Concert Ukulele

  • Top made of A+ Sitka Spruce for bright projection, clear attack, and excellent dynamic response.
  • Back and sides in black walnut providing warmth, midrange definition, and beautiful harmonics.
  • Concert scale 14.8" / 376 mm with 19 frets: playing comfort, tuning accuracy, and versatility.
  • Carefully crafted hardware: genuine bone nut and original Aquila Nylgut strings installed.

The "Concert" Format, the Ideal Balance

Positioned between soprano and tenor sizes, the "concert" format is favored for its balance between compactness and projection. The Sitka spruce/black walnut combination, classic in modern lutherie, gives this model a clear and singing register, suitable both for stage performance and everyday playing at home.

For Whom and Which Styles?

Accessible to beginners as well as intermediate players, this ukulele suits energetic strumming as well as fingerstyle playing. It naturally fits pop, folk, chanson, world music repertoires and perfectly accompanies the voice thanks to its excellent chord clarity.

Sound

The A+ Sitka spruce top enhances attack, projection, and a wide dynamic range: play softly, it remains expressive; strike harder, it responds without compression. The black walnut back and sides add a woody warmth and present midrange while maintaining silky highs. The mahogany neck ensures natural sustain, and the rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth feel for precise phrasing. Together, they produce a balanced, articulate, and musical tone, ideal for both arpeggios and rhythm playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Choose a set of concert nylon strings like Aquila Nylgut (GCEA tuning) for replacement. Protect the instrument with a concert-sized gig bag or hard case. A clip-on tuner easily attaches to the headstock for quick tuning, and a special ukulele capo will expand your tonal options without changing chord shapes. A case humidifier is recommended to stabilize humidity and preserve the wood.
