A Modern Tenor Ukulele Designed for Balance
With its combination of Sitka spruce and black walnut, the AU70WT Art. Uke belongs to the family of contemporary tenor ukuleles aiming for a versatile sound: precise, warm, and sufficiently projected to play solo, accompany vocals, or fit into a small acoustic ensemble. Its natural finish highlights the walnut grain and emphasizes the instrument's "wood" character.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This model suits both ambitious beginners and intermediate/advanced players seeking a comfortable and expressive tenor. The tenor format and its 17" / 430 mm scale length facilitate wider fingerings, enriched chords, and fingerstyle playing. It feels at home in pop/folk, vocal accompaniment, Hawaiian atmospheres, and modern rhythms played with a pick or fingers.
Sound Characteristics
The A+ Sitka spruce top favors clarity and projection: the attack stands out well, dynamics respond quickly, and the instrument maintains clarity even when played loudly. The black walnut back and sides add woody midrange, natural articulation, and softer highs compared to very bright tonewoods, resulting in a balanced and musical output. The mahogany neck contributes to stability and consistent sustain, while the combination of bone nut and rosewood bridge optimizes vibration transmission. Equipped with Aquila Nylgut strings, the AU70WT delivers a crisp attack, good tuning stability, and an acoustic tone ideal for daily practice as well as home recording.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect the instrument, a gig bag or a hard case in tenor ukulele size is highly recommended. For replacements, prioritize a set of Aquila Nylgut strings for tenor ukulele. A clip-on tuner and a ukulele capo efficiently complete the gear for rehearsing, playing in groups, or accompanying singing.
