Pono AS All Solid Acacia Soprano Ukulele Satin

There is a saying along the lines of "the best things arrive in small packages". Well in this case that might be true! Solid Acacia is a beautiful wood for a soprano ukulele, making a sound just right in its balance. Not too shrill in the treble, nice and warm in the lows and mids.

As with all Pono instruments, this model has spotless build and finish quality, and the precision on the intonation makes it suitable for gigging or recording purposes. If you do not plan on doing such things then do not worry - it would sound as fabulous in a pub jam or on your sofa in your living room! As a first serious ukulele there would be no better recommendation.

About the Pono line: The “Pono” line is made by Ko’olau one of the oldest and most traditional Hawaiian ukulele manufacturers. Ko’olau’s goal throughout the years has been to provide the highest quality stringed instruments available with a high standard of craftsmanship. And besides methods of construction to optimize tone and volume, they stress the importance of cosmetic beauty. It is of interest to note that only the finest grades of quartersawn hardwoods, such as Acacia, Mahogany, Rosewood, and Ebony are selected for Pono instruments. However, only 20% pass the stringent requirements of density, grain patterns, flexibility, and cosmetic aesthetics. This is virtually unknown, especially in the Asian import market. We are proud of the fact that all of the Pono instruments are made of solid woods.
