Solid Mahogany, Easy to Play, & Twice the Fun!

All the way across the pacific and almost to Australia, a hand full of super talented craftsmen on the island of Java are making Pono guitars and ukuleles. Pono means excellence, and they have been living up to it.

We have seen this model many times, but it sounds more amazing than the ever. This one has a full body of sound only heard in high-end Hawaiian eight stringers.

You play the eight-string just like the four-string and models like this sound incredible, so why do so many shy away from them. Perhaps one reason is that many 8 string models on the market are hard to play. But the MTD8 actually feels great! The precision low action on this model takes way less effort than other models on the market. Plus the dual-action, lightweight titanium truss rod in Pono tenors is even more crucial in the multi-string situation like this. The MTD8 has a gorgeous gloss finish, ebony appointments, and sounds amazing. This instrument will inspire your music and surely bring many years of joy,

Ko'olau is very exacting and the results are impressive! Experience the quality now achieved and the fun of an eight-string ukulele!

    I had this bet with my dad if i could learn a really hard song he would get me a super nice ukulele (1000$). So I wanted to get a nice pono ukulele. When the time came around we didnt have enough money for that, so the next best choice that I wanted was this 8 string Pono. The sound from this Ukulele is amazing, I think sometimes it overwhelms the guitars that I play with. Its great for playing chords and hawaiian tunes. People think you cannot pick on it, but you can and it still sounds great! All in all, GET THIS 8 STRING! if you want one, definitely get this Ukulele! Aloha

    It's like opening a gift every time I open the case. The fit, finish, the contrasts in the grain make it a gorgeous ukulele. It fits well in the fret hand though pressing 8 strings will require more strength. The 8 strings make fast strumming a breeze. The ring of the mahogany and the Mahana strings sound awesome.

    Held back for a long time before I decided to take the plunge and get the MTD8. I had always thought that the 8-string will be a lot more difficult to play, with the increased tension and all. But this proved otherwise. Tension is just right, and the strings get in tune easily. Just takes a little more patience than the 4-stringers, but definitely worth the effort. And the mahogany is lovely! Very happy to have added this to the collection.
