Pono Mahogany Tenor

[JaneManatee]

it sounds clear, like rain

[phillipsderek]

Thanks for watching and for the comment.

I'm not sure of the model number but the uke is an all solid mahogany tenor.

I am not playing amplified, and the recording was with a digital camera so it doesn't actually do the sound justice.

This is some beautiful sounding uke. It must be plugged in? What model Pono is it?

Also, nice playing. Thank you. 

[NarwhalsArePimps]

This is the ukulele Amanda Palmer plays :D

[jinfuuu]

Spruce is very quiet... don't do it...

[bigdaddybates]

I'd love to get a recording/tab of this song as well. It's so beautiful!

[phillipsderek]

Thankyou! If you would like the tab just send me an email address I can attach a file to.

[phillipsderek]

No worries.

Just give me an email address I can attach a file to and I will send you the tab.

I haven't heard or played a spruce top Pono. I would hazard to guess the only difference would be the sound. Mahogany usually makes for a more mellow tone than spruce. If you're after a brighter, louder attack the spruce top would probably suit you better. I tend to like the mellow sound of mahogany for a tenor.

I bought this uke from musicguymic in Hawaii over a year ago. I can't remember how much I paid for it, but I do remember that the price was reasonable for a well made solid wood instrument. Check out Mike's ebay site for a current price. Music

City Cairns sometimes has Ponos in stock also. They have an ebay shop, as well as a new website.

[phillipsderek]

Sorry I missed this comment. I have a simple tab in a Word document. If you send me an email address I will attach it to a file and send it to you.

Beuatifully piece of music and great sounding ukulele. Thanks for sharing with us.

[phillipsderek]

Thankyou for checking it out and being so kind with your comment.

[thesoobz]

wonderful such a mellow sound the mahogany produces. ! wonderful song too!

[phillipsderek]

Thanks. The mahogany Ponos seem to have almost a little classical guitar sound to my ears. Great for fingerstyle playing.

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Stunning tone - Thanks!

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Grumpy.

[BaronK69]

Great song, great playin on what appears to be a great ukulele.

[phillipsderek]

Thanks for saying so.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Great ukulele, beautiful sound. Lovely piece too. 5/5

KEN

[phillipsderek]

Thanks Ken. I'm still working on trying to record a version of the song without mistakes. This one came close.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Have you tried tabbing it?

[phillipsderek]

No I haven't Ken. I probably haven't played it exactly the same twice. I'm kind of improvising around a theme in parts. Good idea though, I think I will try it.

[phillipsderek]

Thanks. When I play my own songs the mistakes aren't so obvious (to others anyway)

[LStrachey]

An amazing piece of work (on a nice sounding uke, too)
