Take the excellent Pono MTD, add a high grade solid Spruce top, and you have the Pono MTD-SP Deluxe Tenor. For those players who want a little more punch and immediacy in the sound.

Spruce has a really balanced frequency response, so you have rich lows and scintillating trebles, and a nice clean attack to notes. The sustain is impressive, intonation as good as it gets, and the harmonics in the sound are extremely lively and very pretty. All styles sound lovely on this beauty - but picking is particularly satisfying for the crisp and clean ping in the sound.

All the normal Deluxe Pono fittings such as the Ebony on the fretboard and bridge, add up to make this a superb precision tool which can handle pretty much anything you throw at it!

We retrofit a high quality Fishman passive undersaddle pickup to an MTD-SP uke at the point of order to make it recording or gig ready for you.

Please note that photos show a typical example. If you would ike photos of actual stock, please drop us an email.

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 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.
