The MT is a fairly simple tenor with less "frills" than others. The tone and playability are where it's at with this model. And the new look is sharp! The construction and finish is very clean, with a transparent smooth satin, almost semi-gloss, natural finish. If you want a good look without it being shiny, this may be the right uke for you.

The ebony at the bridge, fingerboard, and headstock, and even the black buttons on the Grover tuners follow the two-toned theme with mahogany. This is Honduran solid quarter-sawn mahogany, a high-quality tonewood. The superior acoustic qualities are apparent. Many have gigged and recorded albums with this model. This latest batch, with ebony and being re-voiced, is the best Pono MT yet!

This has always been one of the most loved models in store and on the website. The Pono MT has a bone nut and saddle, Grover geared tuning keys, and a dual-action truss rod for adjusting the neck. But just looking at the "specs" won't really tell you how good an ukulele is. The great thing about this instrument is the sound and feel.

    Very high quality build, love the feel of the neck and larger frets, exceptional at this price, but what makes it even better is the set-up! Low action, no buzzes regardless of how hard the strum /pluck, even makes difficult chords easy!

    I can't say enough good things about this uke! It was my 1st ever uke purchase. Since I couldn't see it in person, I did a fair amount of research online, read through slew of reviews, and listened to tons of Pono YouTube sound clips. In the end, I bought online thru The Ukulele Site for their set up. Their setup really makes all the difference! If I had to buy it all over again, I would buy this Pono over and over again! This is a Beautiful uke. It sounds soooo beautiful.. it has almost a harp-like tone to it. I get tons of compliments on it wherever I play. It's an easy instrument to play as a beginner. I've never played a string instrument before, and I was scared a tenor uke might be too big for a petite girl like me... but no, it's a perfect uke for a beginner. I got it with a low G string, because I wanted to play more bossa nova/ jazz types of songs. The sound of this Pono goes perfectly with any jazz/ hawaiian songs.

  3. Outplays ukes of much higher price ranges - Love it! 0 people found this helpful

    I have had a great experience with this instrument. It has outplayed every other uke that I have tried so far. And of course the Hawaii Music Supply set up that it came with is just the best! I have tried out instruments from the same price range as well as higher ($400-$500) prices at local music shops and so far none have them have even compared! The only problem I have experienced with this instrument is with the tuners (one of the pegs comes loose sometimes) but it really is a very minor concern when look at the big picture. This uke delivers an incredible sound for the price.

    I 've been a guitar player for many years, and after finally trying a friend's Makala uke, I was determined to seriously look into purchasing a decent first uke. Much research led me to the Pono Mt and to Hawaii Music Supply. For the price this is a well constructed instrument which is staight forward in terms of cosmetics, but has features such as the truss rod, which typically are found on higher end ukes. It sounds great and it stays in tune. HMS set it up beautifully and the intonation is spot on all the way up the neck. I was impressed that it was shipped from Hawaii to Massachusetts in two days!

    This ukulele gets glowing reviews. That's not for nothing. I bought this Pono with a pick-up installed (the MT-E) and received it in a lovely Ohua case. This ukulele is really well finished and is a joy to play. Very nice satin finish that you just can not stop hugging and caressing. I changed the strings though. I didn't like the strings it came with and put some Worth Clears with a low G on it. The Pono came to life immediately. Lovely sounding ukulele well worth it's money!
