Ashbury AU-89TZ: Exotic DAO Wood Tenor Ukulele with Premium Features

The Ashbury AU-89TZ Tenor Ukulele combines exotic tonewoods with premium components to create an instrument of exceptional beauty and sound quality. This distinctive ukulele features Dracontomelon dao wood (also known as New Guinea walnut, Pacific walnut, or Paldao) for the top, back, and sides—showcasing this exotic wood's characteristic wavy streaks in shades ranging from green to dark brown. The elegant matt finish enhances the natural beauty of the grain patterns while allowing optimal resonance and vibration. Refined details include tasteful tortoise shell style binding and rosette that add visual sophistication without overwhelming the wood's natural beauty. The comfortable Okoume neck supports a black walnut fingerboard with black binding, providing smooth playability across all 18 frets. Premium appointments include quality closed silver-plated machine heads with distinctive brown pearloid buttons for precise, stable tuning, and ox bone top nut and saddle that enhance tonal transfer and sustain. The matching black walnut bridge completes this harmonious design, creating an instrument that sounds as beautiful as it looks. With its tenor size offering more volume and deeper tone than smaller ukuleles, the AU-89TZ delivers rich, resonant sound with excellent projection—making it our top-selling model for discerning players.
