Essential Information About the AU70WT Art. Uke Tenor Ukulele

  • Top made of Sitka A+ spruce for precise attack and wide dynamics.
  • Back and sides in black walnut offering warm mids and beautiful clarity.
  • 17" / 430 mm scale length and 18 frets: playing comfort, intonation, and projection.
  • Bone nut and Aquila Nylgut strings for natural sustain and excellent tuning stability.

A Contemporary Tenor at the Crossroads of Tradition and Modernity

With its spruce/walnut combination, this tenor ukulele belongs to the line of modern acoustic models seeking a balance between clarity, responsiveness, and warmth. The natural finish highlights the walnut grain, while the A+ selection of Sitka spruce ensures a consistent response, whether playing softly or strumming energetically.

For Which Musician and Styles?

Ideal for ambitious beginners as well as intermediate/advanced players, this tenor suits pop/folk, vocal accompaniment, Hawaiian grooves, and fingerstyle. Its 17-inch scale length provides more comfort for adult hands, better intonation across the neck, and wider dynamic nuances.

Sound Characteristics

The Sitka spruce top delivers brightness, projection, and dynamic reserve; the black walnut enhances woody mids, soft highs, and controlled yet present lows. The mahogany neck stabilizes the whole and contributes to sustain, complemented by the bone nut and rosewood bridge which promote vibration transmission. With its Aquila Nylgut strings, you get a clear attack, reliable intonation, and balanced response, perfect for home recording as well as intimate stage settings.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

We recommend a tenor ukulele gig bag or hard case, a set of tenor Aquila Nylgut or fluorocarbon strings of the same gauge, a ukulele capo, and a clip-on tuner. For maintenance, a ukulele body humidifier will help protect solid or laminated woods from humidity variations.
