Ibanez AU Series AUP10N 6-String Acoustic Tenor Ukulele

The Ibanez AU Series AUP10N 6-string acoustic tenor ukulele in open pore natural represents a distinctive approach to ukulele construction, featuring a body carved from a solid wood block with a separately attached top for enhanced acoustic properties. This tenor ukulele measures approximately 66 cm in length with a scale length of 43 cm, providing comfortable playability for musicians of various skill levels. The instrument features a spruce top known for delivering clear, resonant tones, complemented by solid Paulownia back and sides that contribute to a well-balanced sound with bright characteristics and precise note definition. The neck is crafted from Okoume wood, shaped for optimal hand comfort during extended playing sessions. The Purpleheart fretboard and bridge work in harmony to transfer string vibrations efficiently, producing warm, natural tones. Unique design elements include the Stereo Sound Port System that projects sound toward the player, an elevated comfort armrest for reduced forearm fatigue, and an edgeless comfort heel that facilitates easy access to higher frets. The double-hole bridge design enhances string stability and sustain, while the beveled cutaway allows comfortable navigation of the entire fretboard. The open pore natural finish showcases the wood grain while maintaining the instrument's acoustic integrity. This 6-string configuration offers richer harmonic possibilities compared to traditional 4-string ukuleles, making it suitable for various musical styles from folk to contemporary arrangements. The included specially designed gig bag provides practical protection for transport and storage, ensuring the instrument remains in optimal condition. With its combination of innovative construction techniques and carefully selected tonewoods, this ukulele delivers reliable performance and distinctive sonic character for both practice and performance applications.
