OQAN QUK-30T - Tenor Size Ukulele in Sapele Wood
The OQAN QUK-30T is a tenor-sized ukulele designed to deliver a rich, deep, and resonant sound, ideal for both beginners and more experienced players seeking a quality instrument at an affordable price. Its body, crafted entirely from sapele wood, provides a warm and balanced tone with excellent projection, often placing it in the same tonal family as mahogany. This material not only ensures exceptional acoustics but also a natural and elegant aesthetic.
The tenor size is preferred by many musicians for its comfort and tonal characteristics. It offers a longer fretboard with greater spacing between frets compared to concert and soprano sizes, making fingering easier, especially for people with larger hands or for guitarists venturing into the world of the ukulele. This longer scale results in a fuller sound, with more prominent bass and greater volume.
Its nato neck, complemented by discreet white binding, provides excellent stability and a comfortable feel. A composite rosewood fingerboard sits atop it, an innovative material that offers the look and feel of traditional rosewood but with greater resistance to changes in humidity and temperature, ensuring the instrument's durability. To guarantee precise and stable tuning, the OQAN QUK-30T is equipped with high-quality die-cast tuning machines, which keep the strings in tune for longer.
