aNueNue Moonbird Baritone Ukulele UB200

aNueNue ukuleles take a long time to make. This is not only the result of painstaking craftmanship on behalf of the luthier team involved. aNueNue woods are air dried and aged for up to 5 years prior to use. They are graded and the best of the best cuts go towards the Bird Series ukuleles. So, when you pick up a UB200 ukulele, you are picking the better half a decade's worth of preparation and attention to detail. It's the newest size in the Moonbird range - joining the soprano, concert and tenor after years of development to make sure aNueNue's first baritone was worthy of the family name. aNueNue Moonbirds are completely solid instruments. The top is solid Swiss Moon Spruce, a tree native to high altitudes of Switzerland and historically felled in accordance to the lunar cycle and its relationship to sap flow. This selection of Spruce is incredibly rich and opens into complex tonal variety as the wood matures, paired with a Spalted Maple rosette and the offset soundhole decoration that mirrors a phase of the moon. The back and sides are solid Indian Rosewood, with a 38mm nut and the same Gotoh UPT tuners found across the range. Strung with aNueNue Blue Moon baritone strings and tuned DGBE (note: different tuning to the rest of the aNueNue range, which is GCEA), the UB200 has epic volume, long smooth sustain, and the warmth and depth of a guitar while retaining excellent note clarity and balance - a stunner of a baritone that lives up to the Moonbird name.
