BMUK7T Koa Tenor Ukulele
MSRP: £155.00
An exotic tenor-sized beauty with a classic Hawaiian vibe.
This BMUK7T is made from Koa tonewood that radiates an exotic presence with its contrasting dark and light wood grain patterns creating a stunning, shimmering visual elegance.
Koa is synonymous with the authentic Hawaiian ukulele sound and is one of the most traditionally used ukulele woods. It delivers a direct, mid-range tone with plenty of sustain and good level of high-end chime. Unsurprisingly, the tenor uke body shape lends itself to a slightly 'bigger' overall tone than its smaller concert sibling, thanks to its larger body dimensions.
Complete with a beautiful mother of pearl binding and rosette, Barnes & Mullins BMUK7 ukuleles deliver both visually and aurally and are a great choice for players seeking an authentic instrument that is a real head tuner.
BMUK7 ukuleles feature strap buttons for attaching a ukulele strap.
Common tenor ukulele tuning: G, C, E, A – ‘Reentrant’ ukulele tuning
Why should I buy a tenor ukulele?
The ukulele is one of the easier string instruments to play – and certainly one of the most fun. However, before you buy your uke, you may be slightly confused about the different types available.
Here's some further information to help you out...
What size ukulele should I buy?
Tenor ukuleles are the largest of the three common sizes of ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor). Tenor ukuleles are often the go-to for professional players and their larger size and inherent playability offer an excellent choice for players wanting to experiment with different playing styles. They perform particularly well in a ukulele duo or trio – occupying the lower frequencies wonderfully.
Their larger size means they deliver a deep, resonant and bass-y tone with excellent volume and can be tuned to high-G (the same as soprano and concert ukes) or low-G where the G string is tuned down one whole octave for a mellower tone.
