zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Solid spalted mango construction. Mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard.

SM ukuleles offer exquisite beauty and a very mellow tone, thanks to their solid spalted mango construction. The Spalted Mango Tenor Ukulele illustrates Lanikai's spirit of experimentation by bringing exiting, new developments to the ukulele world.

Spalted mango has a unique tonal characteristic that has the midrange of mahogany but the roundness of spruce, commented Drew Lewis. The difficulties in crafting an instrument with spalted mango are greatly outweighed by the resulting tone and striking appearance.

Lanikai's SM ukuleles feature mahogany necks, rosewood fingerboards, gold plated Grover tuning machines, spalted mango headstock overlay, and come equipped with Aquila strings.

Sound
Sweet and even although not very loud. Martin Fluorocarbon strings increases the volume a little but still rather weak when compared to my Lanikai LKP. Will be upgrading it with a MI-SI Acoustic Trio set up.
Features
Solid Mango body/soundbox. althought the fgure in the wood could have been better. All else is fine...
Ease of Use
Just pluck the strings....No problems with being able to play it.
Quality
Well made but a little disappointed with the wood grain figure.
