Sweet sounds of the Pono Mango Tenor with a classic Pineapple shape!
This is a solid mango pineapple tenor with a sweet tone and a unique natural look. The MGTP has a smooth and satin finish and ebony appointments for a simple but classy look. Pictures show exact ukulele available here. Kalei gives us a sweet sound sample of the MGTP.
The tone of mango has the best characteristics found in both mahogany and koa. Paired with the pineapple body shape you really get a nice full sound with wonderful balance.
A key feature in all of the Pono tenors and baritones is the dual-action adjustable truss rod. This stabilizes and adjusts the lengthwise forward curvature (also called relief), of the neck. It can be adjusted from right inside the soundhole with an Allen wrench provided. Over time and with humidity changes, this is a very useful option to have and a very easy thing to adjust.

My First Uke! 0 people found this helpfulI'm so happy I got a Pono Mango as my first 'ukulele! I had it set up with a high G string and it was absolutely worth the wait. I love the open sound of the pineapple body and the quality of the instrument brings me so much joy when I pick it up to practice. I'm 5'-0" with small hands and the instrument is pretty comfortable (although I had to take time to practice holding it properly while playing!) I'll definitely be coming back to the The Ukulele Site for my next 'ukulele - I'm just so happy with this Pono Mango!

Wonderful! 0 people found this helpfulThis was my second ukulele I purchased from Hawaii Music Supply, my first being the Pono MS-PC, and I was not disappointed. I had it set up with a Low G, and it sounds beautiful. While there was a delay in setting up and delivering my ukulele, this was handled very well by Zach...the service I receive from Hawaii Music Supply is going to land me in the poor house! All kidding aside, if you are in the market for a tenor ukulele that looks and sounds great and is reasonably priced, this is the way to go.

Pineapple mango, sounds like a delicious fruit salad 0 people found this helpfulWe love Pono, we love tenor, we love mango, and who doesn't like pineapple? Here you can have it all in one package! We were completely blown away when we discovered this, ordered right away, and got the one pictured. As good as the pics are, they can hardly give you a true impression of how unique the mango wood looks, since different grain patterns appear in every angle you look at it. Certainly not as beautiful as koa, but definitely very special. And it suits the pineapple shape perfectly! As with all our Pono ukuleles, craftmanship is excellent. The special shape makes it actually quite comfortable to hold and play. We ordered ours strung with low G. The two wound strings do sound rather "metallic" on it, however, so we will replace them with unwound Worth Clear strings eventually. We think they will suit the mango wood and the pineapple shape much better. Since pineapples in tenor size are very rare to come by, the Pono MGTP will make a great addition to any collection. In fact, we hope Pono will continue to surprise us with diverse inventions like this one. How about a pineapple baritone?! Or a guitalele?
