Description
The Noah Baby Tenor is designed for players who want the rich tone and full-scale feel of a tenor ukulele but in a more compact, comfortable body. Handcrafted with a solid Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides, this model delivers impressive projection, clarity and warmth. Its smaller body makes it ideal for travelling musicians, players with smaller frames, or anyone looking for a tenor sound that’s easier to handle — without compromising tone or playability.

I bought this Uke a few weeks ago so that I could have the generous finger spacing of a tenor fretboard to do fingerpicking stuff with mostly. I prefer a smaller-bodied instrument. I have found that this baby tenor definitely works for me; I suppose the smaller body makes it a little quieter than it might be, but I don’t notice this really. The build quality is excellent: You can tell it is hand made as opposed to a factory instrument due to tiny ‘imperfections’here and there – small cosmetic details which are only apparent if you examine the instrument very closely (a bit of uneven lacquer up where the neck meets the front, for example). I don’t see these as flaws, though; if anything it just endearingly demonstrates that it is a handmade instrument. The intonation is excellent, the tuners work well, and a set of Worth brown strings are proving a fine choice now that they have settled in. I would have preferred a hard case, but the soft case which it came with is certainly a decent quality one. In summary, definitely a step up from a factory instrument! Excellent for the price. Back to working on the Gaspar Sanz tunes from Rob MacKillop’s excellent book/CD 👍😊❗

I ordered this as a hand made ukulele having watched a review of it on you tube.It is a beauty to behold, perfectly balanced with good volume and sustain.
This ukulele punches above its weight and I am happy with my purchase.
Well done to Ton That Anh for this creation .
