The Maton Tenor ukulele is the result of combining the best of traditional ukulele design with 21st century production techniques. Drawing on Maton’s extensive background in the use and fine tuning of Australian tonewoods, the Maton Tenor Ukulele produces a tone which is rich, full and intriguing, evoking the timeless sounds of the classic Hawaiian ukuleles of another era.This is not the first time Maton has produced ukuleles. A series of Maton soprano ukuleles were produced in the 1960s, many of which have become the irreplaceable favourites of some of Australia’s best ukulele players.Victorian Blackwood has long been a favourite tonewood at Maton and it was decided from the beginning that Blackwood would be the best timber for the ukulele bodies, not least because it is a close relative of Hawaiian koa, the traditional wood for the construction of ukuleles. The back, sides and soundboard are made and braced as lightly as possible so that the instrument is super responsive to every note.The Queensland maple neck is shaped for maximum comfort and is designed to be a tone enhancing as possible. The CNC produced Indian rosewood fingerboard features top and side dots and is fretted with Dunlop 6260 nickel silver fretwire for ease of playing and brilliant intonation.The Indian rosewood bridge is based on some classic old ukulele designs with the intention of creating as much vibration as possible in the soundboard.Underneath the soundboard is an elliptical shaped spruce bridge plate which is designed to spread string vibration as evenly as possible and to reduce stress points developing around the bridge.The use of bone as a nut and saddle material is time honoured and is particularly effective on a ukulele as it helps to emphasise the lower and mid frequencies.Gotoh’s light weight UK700 tuning heads are the perfect match for this instrument. The 1:15 ratio provides excellent control over tuning while the geared mechanism is so much easier to use than traditional friction pegs.Aquila’s popular Nylgut strings provide excellent tone, stay in tune and intonate perfectly. They replicate the warm but bright sound produced by natural gut strings without their fragile nature.Your Maton Tenor Ukulele is supplied with a fitted Maton Tenor Ukulele Hard case and will also be professionally setup by our in-house Guitar Technicians.MATON TENOR UKULELE Product Specifications:o Body shape: Tenor
