Size: 23.5"l x 5.25"w x 2"h We built this tenor ukulele using a vintage shortbread tin from Scotland. The Brazilian Cherry neck and Movingue fretboard run through the entire body allowing the string vibration to transfer evenly throughout the chambers. Our piezo transducer pickup will provide any amount of volume and the unique tin body construction will furnish a lovely bright sound.
