Has anyone, ever, not loved to hear a Pono? Doubtful.

In real life, I am one. I am still up for giving them a try. I have a Pono octave mandolin and now also an ABD. I like both of them a lot. However, I have been underwhelmed by almost all of the 6 or 7 tenors I have played, including the Koa they used to make a decade ago.

@@SouthernUkuleleStore Just looked at it, man that is a beast. Not sure that my arthritic joints could handle the tension of an 8 string these days. Have you done a sound sample at any time? Asking for that friend!

I went with ukuleles for three reasons: fewer strings but still a good sound range; no squeaky steel strings (like nails on a chalk board to me) and the smaller sizes. Putting steel strings on a large body ukulele seems to be counter to what they are all about. Would rather have a parlour guitar. But there is also a real sound difference between the nylon and steel strings with the nylon being warmer and To me pleasanter. Having said that, the BN4 has a unique sound-if only not so squeaky! 👾

Hi Alex! Can you tell us about these strings… brand, gauge, etc. Pono’s are a hard brand to locate in Canada and considering a purchase, makes me wonder about string availability as well .
@lolarice1860 2 жыл бұрын
Is there an advantage or disadvantage to a radius fretboard or is it just a feel of preference?
@ladyhannahs3245 Жыл бұрын
Those are excellent ukuleles sure wish I could find the price on them, and if these instruments are for the UK only do you ship to the USA?
@SouthernUkuleleStore Жыл бұрын
Availability is the issue. We get one delivery a year at best. You would likely have more success looking at 'the ukulele site' for these. There are always links to the things in the video in our description

Can you tunes these like tenor guitars in Irish mandolin tuning .
@AdoWASD Жыл бұрын
Any other more budget friendly brands that sell the Big Big Baritone, I really want a Big Big Bari but Pono is on high end i guess, i just think than rather buying tenor guitar and tune it to DGBE although than its steel strings.

You beat me to it with that question. For that matter, could one get away with it with a normal-sized baritone?

Could you switch the steel strings for fluorocarbon?
@SouthernUkuleleStore 2 жыл бұрын
You probably could but the reinforced top won't resonate very well. There isn't much point as a non version exists that works much better at the same price.

It's an interesting video but he is playing the ukulele upside down the thicker strings are supposed to be towards him
@Berniegraph 9 ай бұрын
He's left-handed, so plays it upside down rather than re-stringing, which would probably involve changing or reversing the nut.
