A Tenor Ukulele with genuine WOW-factor plus superb projection.

Barnes & Mullins BMUK8 ukuleles made from Becote tonewood. This South American timber has a glorious, marbled grain pattern and but also sounds great with a powerful, warm tone and excellent projection.

The remarkable wood grain swirls of BMUK8 ukes are enhanced by an all-over high gloss finish and then further accentuated with patterned binding and a bevelled arm rest for additional comfort. A corresponding patterned rosette completes these stylish ukuleles securing their position as 'objets d'art' as well as musical instruments!

BMUK8 ukuleles feature strap buttons for attaching a ukulele strap.

Common tenor ukulele tuning: G, C, E, A – ‘Reentrant’ ukulele tuning

Tenor ukuleles are the largest of the three common sizes of ukulele (soprano, concert, tenor). Tenor ukuleles are often the go-to for professional players and their larger size and inherent playability offer an excellent choice for players wanting to experiment with different playing styles. They perform particularly well in a ukulele duo or trio, occupying the lower frequencies wonderfully.

Their larger size means they deliver a deep, resonant and bass-y tone with excellent volume and can be tuned to high-G (the same as soprano and concert ukes) or low-G where the G string is tuned down one whole octave for a mellower tone.
