Quarter Sawn Solid Acacia Wood -Gloss Finish
Select your instrument from the serial number dropdown above.
This model from Pono gives us quality and musicality never seen in this price range. The ATD is gorgeous in every way. Features include rich tone, great sustain, perfect feel, and beautiful all solid Acacia wood!
Kalei gives us a short review and sample as well with the Ko'olau Aho Smoothwound Low G set.
The ATD is dynamic. It will work with any style of music, any popular set of string. Perfect with a low G, showing off a robust lower range, or with a high G, still giving us a surprising depth. This all solid wood tenor ukulele has it all! A refined classic style, glossy exotic woods, and a beautiful voice. This Pono is an excellent value on a professional quality tenor ukulele. It has less flash than some of the other models, but the wood is gorgeous and the tone is very warm and sweet, and the construction is meticulous.
Acacia is a family of trees that Hawaiian Koa belongs to. This is not Hawaiian Koa but comes from a very similar species. Ko'olau is exacting in their woods being quarter sawn and dried properly. This is an essential factor in the precision you experience with the Pono ATD.
This Gloss finish really sets this model off. It's wonderful to just look at. But the key to this model is a sweet balanced tone with wonderful intonation and fantastic sustain. With think you'll love it.

THE place to buy your Ukes 0 people found this helpfulAbout three months ago and after careful research I ordered a Pono-ATD Gloss Acacia Tenor from TheUkuleleSite.com to add to my worthy collection. Every time I pick it up I'm amazed at the quality and sound for the money. This is pro level sound for an intermediate price. The crew at ThuUkuleleSite.com are world class! I wouldn't buy a Uke anywhere else now.

I love this Uke! 0 people found this helpfulI am a guitarist that is starting on ukulele, and I didn't want my first uke to be a "starter" uke. After much research on this site and ukuleleunderground.com, I ordered the Pono -ATD - Gloss Acacia Tenor during the 2012 Christmas season and received it in the Cincinnati area 6 days later. I was surprised and thrilled to receive it so quickly during their busiest time of year. I also ordered the hard case and installation of the MiSi active pickup. Everything is flawless - beautiful finish, perfect setup, great sound - acoustic and plugged in. Watch the video on this site that demonstrates their setup process. These guys are the real deal. Andrew answered my questions before and after purchase and provided amazing customer service. I couldn't be more happy. I am trying the "Worth Strings - BT Brown Tenor" with this and so far so good. Next will be the "Aquila Strings - Tenor". Merry Christmas to me! :-)
