The aNueNue UC10-LC is a striking looking ukulele, with a solid spruce top in a satin, pink/orange finish, paired with laminate mahogany back and sides. There are so many visual features to talk about, but with something like this, the main thing to do is state that this, at its price point, is a fine sounding ukulele. It might look ‘out there’, but rest assured it sounds great. If you’re not a fan of the looks? Obviously not for you. But if something like this, that is unique, does appeal, you can look different but still sound good!

One thing to note with this one, named after the pantone colour, Living Coral is that the colour differs in different lights. Right now as I type, it’s on the wall in front of me and it is positively glowing, almost luminous. It can also look more subtle when the light is more subdued. I’ve tried to photograph it, but it’s hard to get across that this can appear VERY BRIGHTLY coloured - so don’t go for this one unless you like making a statement!

I confess to be being surprised at the sound, and how even with the finish, the solid spruce still allows the sound to ring out and ring true. As well as good volume and sustain, the balance is excellent - each string stands out distinctly from the others and, in particular, plays well and with lots of volume, up the neck. While the sound of spruce is typically bright, and this is no exception, that brightness isn’t overwhelming, and the tone fills out nicely with a good helping of richness. Bright then, but not thin.

Unusually, maple has been used for the bridge, and the UC10-LC from aNueNue has clear fluorocarbon strings (their own, excellent clear water brand). There’s a maple fingerboard and a maple faced headstock, which has good geared tuners fitted. Another unusual feature is the slightly raised scratchplate. Cleverly this has a printed texture on it which matches the beautiful gig bag this aNueNue Colour Series concert ukulele is supplied with.

One tiny point, the colour of the strip on the gig bag varies from uke to uke, and doesn’t necessarily match the colour of the uke, but all the bags are pretty!
