Exquisitely designed with a chambered body that originates from a solid block of wood, it offers an exceptional acoustic experience. The instrument's unique wood routing lends it a distinct and resonant sound with a rich tonal character. With its spruce top, the ukulele provides the crisp tonal clarity that one would expect from a high-quality Ibanez instrument.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionUnique Stereo Sound Port System
The AUP10N ukulele's Stereo Sound Port System is a marvel of acoustic engineering. This innovative feature involves dual sound holes strategically located on the waist of the instrument, setting it apart from conventional designs. The result is a surround sound effect that not only enriches the ukulele's projection but also provides the player with a more immersive auditory experience. This system allows musicians to closely monitor their performance, ensuring every strum resonates with the intended harmony and richness.
Elevated Comfort Armrest and Edgeless Heel
Ibanez's commitment to player comfort is evident in the AUP10N's Elevated Comfort Armrest and Edgeless Comfort Heel. The former prevents the player's strumming arm from experiencing fatigue by reducing contact with the ukulele's top, thus enabling longer playing sessions without discomfort. The Edgeless Comfort Heel further complements this by offering seamless transitions up and down the neck, particularly advantageous for complex chord changes and rapid finger movements, ensuring playability is never compromised.
Chambered Body Construction
Distinct in its construction, the AUP10N features a body that is chambered from a solid piece of wood, with the back and sides carved from a single block before a top is added. This architectural choice not only contributes to the instrument's aesthetic but also plays a pivotal role in defining its sound signature. The resonance and sustain achieved through this method are exceptional, providing the musician with a ukulele that sings with a unique voice, full of character and richness that is both audible and tactile in its vibrations.
Purpleheart Fretboard and Bridge
Enhancing both the visual appeal and tonal quality of the AUP10N is the purpleheart wood used for the fretboard and double hole bridge. Not only does this wood present a striking contrast to the Open Pore Natural finish of the ukulele, but it also contributes to the instrument's sound profile. Purpleheart is known for its hardness and density, which transfers string vibrations efficiently, enriching the ukulele's tone with clarity and a warm sustain that both novices and professional players can appreciate.
