The first model here is an AT2. The 2 series have a cedar top and a radius fingerboard, like many of the pro classics, but with the less expensive lineup. These will be around 500 with a case and also comes as an MT2 with mahogany sides and back.
The second model is gonna hit next year mostly. We only have two of them now so they most likely won’t be for sale long but we are getting more in another few months. It is a deluxe Acacia tenor but with a slimmer body depth (under 6mm). This gives it a different tone and slightly different feel, more comfortable for some to hold and play. (less reaching around the body)
The pics and videos were done with a Canon 5D mark 2 (like always) but now with a Canon 200mm f/2L lens that I have courtesy of my friend Selwyn in Singapore. He sponsored us with a really amazing piece of gear. Nothing can match a 3 dimensional first hand beauty as you hold an instrument. But this is the closest I’ve seen. No editing at all. Just like when I bought good mics I could stop editing my audio, so it is with a real piece of glass like this. Enormous mahalos to Selwyn for true Aloha from across the ocean!

Hey Andrew, I will put it up today. Thanks
These new Ponos look and sound great. I love the sound of the Pono ATTD with low G. Now, can you post some samples from the AT2 and MT2 with low G?
I have been looking into getting a new ukulele pretty soon, and have heavily been contemplating getting a pono. Now, I know I am getting a pono, they just keep impressing me.
I bought a Pono Tenor (koa) from your site a few years ago but sold it after one year. Boy do I wish I had kept it! Beautiful sound and beautiful to look at. I purchased a more expensive Kanilea from your site a couple of years ago and I love it. I am also promoting The Ukulele Site to all members of the Ukulele group that I belong to!
I purchased a slim body tenor at the store this summer. It’s my first uke and when I compare the sound to others around me it has a mellowness that I can’t describe. Thanks Andrew! It was the right uke for me.
