If you are looking to upgrade your uke or dive head first into the world of high-end ukuleles, you are in the right place. aNueNue's world famous Cedar Bird is a pleasure to the eye and the ear.

The body is crafted with a solid Cedar top for a sweet, resonant tone. The sound is rich and expressive, strong in midtones, and buttery smooth. The back and sides are made from solid Indian Rosewood, a recurring feature of aNueNue ukes, and provide an incredible lushness and sustain to the Cedar.

My pick of the specs is the Spalted Maple rosette, flush to the sound hole and bordered in black. It's rare to see this specific detail on a ukulele, but it works well. I'm also a big fan of the blended body binding which accentuates the shape of the instrument. Another rare but excellent choice from the team at aNueNue.

The Ebony fretboard gives you smooth playability, while the gloss finish brings out the natural beauty of the wood grain. Black perpendicular tuning pegs and fluorocarbons strings are the icing on the cake. The Cedar Bird Tenor is the natural fit for any one looking for an upgrade or a taste of high-end luthiery.
