Positioned between concert and baritone, the tenor offers an ideal size to gain power and ease without losing the ukulele?s spirit. The modern spruce/walnut combination blends projection and warmth, while the carefully crafted bone and rosewood hardware optimizes vibration transmission. The AU70WTCE Art. Uke model is designed for those seeking a reliable, inspiring instrument ready to be amplified.
Accessible to ambitious beginners as well as intermediate/advanced players, this tenor suits fingerstyle and strumming. Pop, folk, chanson, vocal accompaniment, light jazz arrangements, or bossa nova: its clear and balanced character fits many contexts. The onboard electronics ensure controlled volume both in rehearsal and on stage.
The Sitka A+ spruce top delivers a bright attack, clarity, and volume reserve; the black walnut back and sides add silky mids and bright highs for a woody, articulate tone. The 16.9" / 430 mm scale length slightly increases string tension, enhancing sustain and intonation across the 18 frets. The bone nut, rosewood fingerboard, and bridge complete the setup with a quick and natural response. Plugged in, the AUE 20 EQ allows fine-tuning of your tonal color while benefiting from the integrated tuner.
To protect and optimize your instrument: a tenor-sized gig bag or case, a set of Aquila Nylgut Tenor strings (standard tuning G?C?E?A, high G or low G depending on your preference), a ukulele-specific capo, and a quality 6.35 mm jack cable to get the best out of the preamp.
