Stagg UT70-S Tenor ukulele

General

This ukulele is a slightly larger model than your average soprano uke. Because it's larger, you have more playing options, along with a rich tenor sound. Tenor ukuleles can cost upwards of a thousand pounds, but Stagg has kept this ukulele's price tag quite friendly and accessible. Not only that, but this instrument also comes with a black nylon bag, so you can take it everywhere with you and not worry about damage.

About the ukulele

Portuguese immigrants from Madeira were actually responsible for bringing the ukulele's predecessor - the machete - to the islands, where it would become the instrument we know and love today. The ukulele has enjoyed great popularity all over the world, but especially in Hawaii, the US and Mexico. Its smaller size (compared to a classical guitar) is understandably responsible for the smaller, distinctive ukulele sound that really cuts through the mix.
