Pono is known for their quality control. The attention to detail from finish and construction to set up, everything is spot-on. We are proud to be the only authorised Pono dealer in Australia.
Theres a notable difference between solid and ply ukes in general when it comes to resonance and sustain. This is a solid wood ukulele withsolid mango top and solid mango back and sides. This tonewood is relatively new, but very popular due to its unique tone and looks.
Mango has a sweet, harp like tone. If you want a uke to hit hard and 'snap' then this is not it. If you are a gentle player, or soft finger picker then this will appeal to you.
Before shipping this uke will be set up and upgraded with Aquila strings, adding a touch of extra tension and brightness.
The ebony fretboard is a joy to play. It is very smooth and the neck profile is very comfortable.
The bridge is also ebony and the nut and saddle are bone. True indicators of a higher end uke; only the best materials are used for each part of the uke.
To keep this uke in tune, it is fitted with super smooth and precise Grover geared machine heads.
A Pono ukulele is not complete without a high quality deluxe wooden hard case. These are so solid and fit your uke snugly. These cases when sold separately, retail for more than $100!
All Pono ukuleles come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
