Pukanala Tenor Ukulele – Solid Sapele Top (Satin Finish)
A warm, full-sounding tenor ukulele with solid-top resonance and comfortable playability at an accessible price.
The Pukanala Tenor Ukulele (PU-PU-SMHT) delivers a rich, balanced tone thanks to its solid sapele top — offering greater warmth, projection and responsiveness than laminate models. Paired with sapele back and sides, this tenor produces a full mid-range voice suited to strumming, fingerstyle and performance.
Built with a smooth satin finish, a comfortable okoume neck and Aquila Nylgut strings, this model is designed for players who want reliable craftsmanship and a naturally resonant tone without stretching the budget. Traditional bone nut and saddle improve sustain and clarity, while the Pukanala headstock adds a clean, understated aesthetic.
Whether you’re upgrading from your first uke or looking for an affordable tenor with a solid top, this Pukanala delivers impressive value and musicality.
