Pono BN-30D Sunburst Solid Wood "Big Baritone" Ukulele with hard case
£950.00
£791.67
What an extraordinary instrument. This is basically a tenor guitar slightly modified to take nylon strings instead of steel in Baritone ukulele DGBE tuning, and it sounds absolutely wonderful! Imagine the biggest, best and most mellow sounding Baritone that you have heard, add more volume, sustain, precise intonation and crisper note definition and you might be half way there. If Barry White had been a Ukulele - He would be a Pono BN-30D. And thanks to Jared Newbery for suggesting it be called the "Bari White". Nice one!
The solid spruce top is the engine for that fabulous tone, whilst the solid rosewood on the back and sides really works with the top to reinforce the volume, and project the sound from the soundhole. The world class Pono build quality is responsible for ensuring the precision of the intonation and clarity of the sound, and their attention to detail results in the fantastic finish. Spruce and Rosewood together really are a match made in heaven.
If you were wondering which of the BN series might suit you best, this will help:
The BN-10 in solid acacia is brighter sounding, with a decent midrange bite - sounds wonderful for blues
The BN-20 is full, rounded and warmer, great for jazz and strumming
The BN-30 is full, crisp and a little sprightlier in the treble than the BN-20 - a great all rounder
Spec:
Solid Sitka Spruce top
Solid Rosewood back and sides
Ebony Fingerboard & Bridge
Abalone Rosette
Bone Nut & Saddle
Slotted Headstock
Scale Length 23" - 584 mm
Neck to Body 14th fret
Nut Width 1.75" - 45 mm
Grover Machine Tuners
Sunburst Gloss finish
Free hard case
