The Santana U4 T is a tenor ukulele built with mahogany on the top, back and sides, giving the instrument a warm and rich sound. The tenor ukulele has a deeper and more resonant tone compared to the soprano and concert models, making it ideal for players who want a rich and projecting sound. The natural properties of mahogany ensure that the tones have a good balance between clarity and warmth, making the Santana U4 T suitable for both chordal and melodic playing.
Quality tuning screws for precision
The ukulele is equipped with Grover closed tuning screws, which are silver-plated and have BR buttons. These tuning screws are known for their stability and precision, which means you can keep your ukulele in tune for longer, even with frequent use. The tuning screws make it easy to adjust the tone precisely, ensuring a consistent and comfortable playing experience.
Black walnut fingerboard and bridge
The Santana U4 T has a black walnut fingerboard and bridge, which is both robust and comfortable. Black walnut is known for its durability and playability. The combination of walnut and mahogany creates a harmonious balance that makes the ukulele both comfortable to play and aesthetically pleasing.
Aquila strings for clarity and durability
The ukulele is fitted with Aquila strings, which are recognised for their clear tone and durability. Aquila strings enhance the natural acoustic properties of the instrument and deliver a crisp and powerful sound. These strings make the Santana U4 T an ideal choice for those looking for a ukulele with both depth and clarity.
What is a tenor ukulele?
A tenor ukulele is larger than both the soprano and concert models, giving it a more resonant and full sound. Tenor ukuleles are usually around 66cm long and have a larger fingerboard, which allows more room for fingerings and chording. Their more powerful sound makes them particularly suitable for performances and recordings where a full-bodied sound is desired.
The size of the tenor ukulele also makes it popular with players who want a ukulele with a richer and deeper tone without compromising on the familiar ukulele sound. It’s ideal for both solo performances and ensemble playing, where its projecting sound can fill the room with warmth and clarity.
