Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
This Baton Rouge UTAS-T Ash is a surprisingly capable tenor ukulele. The solid wood construction gives it a richer, more mature voice than many in its class, and the Nubone hardware is a nice touch. It's an excellent choice for intermediate players looking for a well-built, affordable instrument with a warm, inviting tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ash tends to be warmer and less overtly bright than Koa; expect a rounder, more mellow voice with a slightly 'woody' character.
The open-pored matte finish absorbs moisture, so regular wiping with a soft cloth is important to prevent discoloration and maintain its appearance.
While they look nice, open guitar tuners can be slightly less precise than ukulele-specific geared tuners; careful stringing and occasional adjustments might be needed.
