Lâg Tiki Uku 118 Tenor EQ

The Tiki 118 Series: A Premium Identity Designed to Play Anywhere

The Tiki Uku 118 Tenor is part of a series that focuses on a high-end aesthetic and modern design. Its glossy black finish, mahogany purflings, maple inlays, and Polynesian-inspired rosette mark an instrument with a strong character, as appealing on stage as in everyday use.

For Whom and in Which Styles?

Thanks to its tenor format and dynamic response, this model is aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians seeking more fullness than a smaller format, while maintaining the portability of a compact instrument. It is perfectly suited for vocal accompaniment, percussive rhythms, and melodic lines in pop, folk, variety, and world music. Its electro-acoustic system makes it highly relevant for stage performance, amplified rehearsals, and recording.

Sound

The solid red cedar top provides immediate warmth, excellent touch sensitivity, and a rich response, ideal for nuanced playing. The sapelli back and sides complete the spectrum with a round and balanced tone, promoting versatility. The slim design combined with the arched back helps enhance acoustic projection while improving comfort against the body. On the amplification side, the LAG mini preamp with built-in tuner allows simple volume and tone adjustment while respecting the acoustic personality of the instrument.
