DISC Luna Vintage Mahogany Tenor Ukulele, Red Satin

Full Description

Tenor Body Size

The tenor size ukulele is slightly bigger than the concert, and produces an even deeper and fuller tone. Due to its larger size, the tenor ukulele is more comfortable and typically more convenient for larger players. The tenor ukulele also has more frets due to the longer scale length, which provides the player with more sonic possibilities.

Mahogany Construction

The Vintage Tenor Uke is constructed with a mahogany body for a focused yet punchy tone. The mahogany delivers meaty mids, along with excellent richness and resonance to enhance the full baritone sound.

Mahogany Neck & Walnut Fingerboard

The Luna Tenor's neck is crafted from mahogany, and offers a rich, resonant sound as well as great durability. For increased comfort, the Luna Vintage Tenor Ukulele has a C shaped neck profile that reduces the likeliness of a cramping hand. The mahogany neck is paired with a walnut fingerboard which offers an earthy sound with unique tonalities, for an overall deep, warm ukulele sound that is well-balanced.

Luna History

Yvonne Villiers is an accomplished stained-glass artist who envisioned Luna guitars. Her inspiration for a line of guitars designed to maximise playing comfort came from her mother, Hilda Villiers, a bassist for over 40 years. Whilst watching her mum on stage, Yvonne couldn't help but notice the massive struggle her mum had whilst playing. With her mum being petite and using such a heavy instrument, she used to complain of how hard it was to be a woman and try to play these big bass guitars.

Yvonne then questioned if there were others like her mum that struggled with the same problems and pains. She came up with the idea of a woman specific guitar, uniquely tailored to fit their bodies, their hands, and their musical styles. Yvonne moved on to created Luna guitars, a line of guitars made for female musicians of all ages and crafted with luminous visual beauty to engage women's minds and spirits along with their talent.

Yvonne already had brilliant artistic skills and use of colour, she then applied the same techniques as she did with her award winning stained glass work to her new line of guitars. She is known for using rich colours that shimmer and shine with every movement providing an eye-catching design along with the great musical tones Luna guitars deliver. Yvonne's design expertise has led so many men to respond to Luna's well-crafted, spirit-engaging instruments that the company now creates guitars for both female and male musicians of all ages.
