David Dart tenor ukulele – Monterey cypress with ebony fingerboard & bridge

This handcrafted tenor ukulele features a body, neck, and sides built entirely from Monterey cypress, a tonewood prized for its warm, open voice and light responsiveness. Paired with an Indian ebony fingerboard and heelcap, the instrument balances golden, resonant mids with a clear, articulate top end.

A comfortable 17” scale provides excellent projection and sustain while maintaining the effortless playability of a tenor. The satin finish allows the natural beauty of the cypress to shine while giving a smooth, organic feel in the hands.

Fitted with a bone nut and saddle for optimal tonal transfer, and Pegheds planetary geared tuners (4:1 ratio) for precise yet traditional-looking tuning, this ukulele is built for both reliability and refined performance.

The result is an instrument that blends understated elegance with expressive musicality—ideal for players seeking a responsive, lightweight tenor that sings with clarity and warmth.
