aNueNue UC10-AM Almond Milk Solid Top Concert Ukulele
The aNueNue UC10-AM is a nice looking ukulele (although more subtle than others in this series), with a solid spruce top in a satin, cream finish, paired with laminate mahogany back and sides. There are so many visual features to talk about, but with something like this, the main thing to do is state that this, at its price point, is a fine sounding ukulele. It might look unusual, but rest assured it sounds great. If you’re not a fan of the looks? Obviously not for you. But if something like this, that is unique, does appeal, you can look different but still sound good!
I confess to be being surprised at the sound, and how even with the finish, the solid spruce still allows the sound to ring out and ring true. As well as good volume and sustain, the balance is excellent - each string stands out distinctly from the others and, in particular, plays well and with lots of volume, up the neck. While the sound of spruce is typically bright, and this is no exception, that brightness isn’t overwhelming, and the tone fills out nicely with a good helping of richness. Bright then, but not thin.
Unusually, maple has been used for the bridge, and the UC10-AM from aNueNue has clear fluorocarbon strings (their own, excellent clear water brand). There’s a maple fingerboard and a maple faced headstock, which has good geared tuners fitted. Another unusual feature is the slightly raised scratchplate. Cleverly this has a printed texture mimics the texture on the the beautiful gig bag this aNueNue Colour Series concert ukulele is supplied with.
One tiny point, the gig bags are all very pretty but vary in appearance a little from uke to uke. Great bags though.
