Full Description
View Full DescriptionSuperior Woodwork and Resonance
At the heart of the AUT10-OPN's design philosophy is the revolutionary approach to its woodwork. By beginning with a solid block of wood and carving out the chambered body, Ibanez ensures unmatched resonance and warmth. The precision of this design is not only visually striking but also contributes significantly to the distinct tonal characteristics of the instrument, making it a favourite among discerning ukulele players looking for that unique sound.
Rich Tonal Clarity
The combination of a Spruce top and solid Paulownia back and sides in the AUT10-OPN's construction culminates in a rich tonal clarity that players aspire to. Spruce, prized for its bright and versatile sound profile, works harmoniously with the lightness of Paulownia, presenting a well-balanced tone teeming with superior note definition and brightness. This selection of woods makes the ukulele suitable for a wide range of musical styles and playing techniques.
Player-Centric Features
The AUT10-OPN distinguishes itself with features such as the Elevated Comfort Armrest and Edgeless Comfort Heel. These ergonomic advancements seamlessly blend with the ukulele's form to provide enhanced comfort during prolonged playing sessions. The armrest prevents the player's arm from dampening the top's vibration, while the smooth heel allows for effortless transitions up and down the neck, ensuring a more enjoyable and sustainable playing experience.
Convenient and Practical Design
The Purpleheart Double Hole Bridge isn't just an aesthetic choice for the AUT10-OPN, it is a practical innovation that simplifies string changes and maintains ideal tension for improved tuning stability. Alongside this, the inclusion of a beveled cutaway offers superior access to the higher frets, broadening the instrument's range and making it a truly versatile tool for both practice and performance. Accompanied by a protective gig bag, this ukulele is poised for musicians on the go.
