Stunning visually, equally stunning on the ears, this model boasts a solid cedar top and solid Macassar ebony back and sides. This used example is available in good condition but with several small clusters of dings on the top and back that have been photographed in the listing. From 90% of the angles you view the instrument, these marks do not show as visible.

The cedar top has a very complex sound, resonant with harmonics, and has a very warm and clear tone across the whole frequency range. The Ebony on the back and sides helps to focus the attack of each note, and give each note a long lasting sustain. Strummed, you hear all the notes in your chords with great clarity, and picked you enjoy a shimmering attack to each note with bags of sustain, all the way up the neck. It also has a slight radius on the fretboard, which is almost imperceptible, but helps to make playing it feel very easy indeed.

Truly a precision tool, with world class sound and performance. Truthfully, this model has always been requested and in demand but Pono do not make many of them and you definitely won't get one again at such a good price.

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.
