Essential Information About the "Chicago Red Archtop" Tenor Ukulele

  • Vintage archtop look with "f" holes for precise projection and a decidedly jazzy charm.
  • Mahogany wood for the top and neck, rosewood fingerboard: warmth, roundness, and quick response.
  • Nut and saddle in Graph Tech NuBone for better tuning stability and controlled sustain.
  • Glossy "Chicago Red" finish with metallic sheen, pearloid binding, and case included.

A Nod to the Archtops of Jazz's Golden Age

Inspired by iconic archtop guitars, this ukulele translates the swing-era aesthetic into a modern tenor format. Its "f" holes and archtop-inspired arch give it a timeless look, enhanced by pearloid binding and a metallic red finish that catches the light both on stage and in the living room.

For Which Musicians and Styles?

Accessible to motivated beginners as well as intermediate players, the "Chicago Red Archtop" tenor is suitable for accompaniment, fingerstyle, and chord-melody. Its clear attack and definition make it an excellent companion for jazz, swing, blues, as well as pop and more modern arrangements.

Sound Characteristics

Mahogany provides a woody warmth and even response across the register. The archtop-style construction and "f" holes promote focused projection, with a sharper attack than a ukulele with a central soundhole. The D?Addario clear nylon strings add softness to the tone while maintaining clarity in arpeggios. The NuBone combo (nut/saddle) optimizes vibration transmission for natural sustain and reliable intonation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

- Tenor clear nylon string set (tenor format) to maintain the original sound signature.
- Chromatic clip-on tuner, ideal for quick tuning on the headstock.
- Ukulele case humidifier, useful for stabilizing humidity and preserving the wood.
- Microfiber cloth for maintaining the glossy finish.
