aNueNue Moonbird Soprano Electric Ukulele US200E

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 US200E ukulele, you are picking the better half a decade's worth of preparation and attention to detail. You are picking up unparalleled professionalism. 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. The grain is extraordinarily thin, and its milky almond hue pairs excellently with the Spalted Maple rosette and the offset soundhole decoration that mirrors a phase of the moon. Next stop is the back and sides, made from solid Indian Rosewood. The finish is gloss, with satin Mahogany used for the back of the neck and headstock. Despite its small soprano frame, the US200E has a surprisingly big, warm voice - crisp, strong, and well balanced - and with the onboard Air Air dual pickup system fitted, it's ready to plug in and perform whenever you need to be heard.
