About these stunning all solid koa tenor ukuleles from APC

These sweet sounding all-solid koa ukuleles are hand made in Portugal by our friends at APC! Founded by Antonio Pinto Carvalho in 1976, APC have made a name for themselves across Europe but are not a common sight in the UK… Yet! We hope to change that with our new selection of incredible hand made instruments at very reasonable prices.

The TT is a truly exquisite all-solid koa tenor ukulele, which matches the attractive golden grain of koa with gorgeous wooden rosette inlays and traditional herringbone purfling. The neck has a comfortable D profile which feels great. This is enhanced by the open pore satin finish which makes sliding around the fretboard a breeze and also allows the koa of the body to resonate freely for a fuller tone. Tone is also enhanced by the bone nut and saddle and clever bi-level bridge design which gives a steeper brake angle for more downward pressure on the bridge, in turn leading to better tone transfer from the strings to the body of the instrument. The hardware spec is also top-notch with precise, reliable and eye-catching gold tuners which look great against the African Blackwood veneer of the headstock. All in all this is an eye-catching and very well built ukulele with a full, sweet tone to match!
