Positioned between soprano and tenor, the ?concert? format offers a very manageable size with more volume and sustain than a soprano. It is the preferred choice of many musicians who want to retain the traditional ukulele tone while gaining ease of play and sonic presence.
Ideal for beginners to intermediate players, this model suits vocal accompaniment, pop, folk, world music, and light fingerstyle arrangements. The feel is natural, intonation is reliable thanks to the bone nut and well-positioned 19 frets, and the built-in electronics facilitate amplified performances.
The Sitka spruce top delivers attack, clarity, and dynamic range, while the black walnut back and sides enrich the midrange and soften the highs for a singing tone. The rosewood bridge and bone nut promote sustain and tuning precision. When plugged in, the AUE 20 EQ provides a natural reproduction of the ukulele?s spectrum, and the backlit tuner ensures quick tuning on stage or in the studio.
- Set of Aquila Nylgut concert strings (original setup), perfect for maintaining feel and tonal balance.
- Concert-size gig bag or hard case for secure support and effective protection during transport.
- Ukulele stand (table/floor) for stable storage at home or rehearsals.
