The Baton Rouge UTC-T Cherry is a surprisingly well-appointed tenor uke. The solid woods give it a richer sound than many in its price range, and the Nubone hardware is a nice touch. This is a fantastic option for intermediate players looking for a quality instrument with a warm, balanced tone and comfortable feel.
