Preowned aNueNue UT200 Moonbird Tenor Ukulele w/hard case

Please note that this is a commission sale being sold on behalf of one of our customers. All used ukuleles are only for sale to UK based customers.

This used moonbird tenor ukulele model is in great shape with few signs of having been played. That fabled Swiss moon spruce has opened up nicely lending to the sustain and nuance of a fantastic aNueNue. It is shipped in its original woodshell case which sadly has a ding in the top, a hard case doing what its supposed to though! Currently strung low-G with a Fremont soloist,this ones a real peach of a tenor.

The Gotoh UPT planetary style tuners are lightweight and well suited to this ukulele because the uke itself is featherlight, tight and confidently voiced with a rich bass and balanced mid/treble but somehow feels fairly petite in the hands.

You get a terrific visual ying and yang watching the pale Swiss moon spruce sit in harmony with the dark deep rosewood back and sides. These woods are always a winning combination but seem very deliberately engineered to work as one here. Perhaps that is in part down to the ebony fretboard which not only adds to the visual effect but offers a slightly faster attack than a rosewood fretboard might. An ebony fretboard is perfect for the faster players or players that want a little bit more forgiveness from how hard they have to press down on the fretboard.

The sheer-cutaway allows you access to the higher frets and you may have noticed from the photos aNueNue have cleverly built in an offset spalted maple soundhole rosette and binding to accentuate the curves of the instrument.

Finally, the slightly petite feel and slender neck profile might make this a real winner for those players out there that need precision but might not have the hand strength to really dig into the instrument. There is something so incredibly relaxing about this instrument - it is truly a ukulele that gives out the maximum reward for minimum effort. Who doesn't like that? The Bird series ukuleles come with a blue woodshell hard case and clear water aNueNue strings.
