Description
Baton Rouge UTM-T Flamed Maple Tenor Ukulele
The UTM-T sits comfortably against the body with its ergonomic arm rest, making it the ideal choice for extended sets without fatigue. The maple neck and eucalyptus fingerboard deliver a smooth, responsive playing surface that rewards precision and feel. Built for gigging musicians and serious players who demand rich projection and tonal depth in a larger format, this instrument holds its own on stage and in the studio.
Tone & Resonance
Solid German spruce on the top cuts through a mix with clear, resonant fundamentals and excellent projection—the foundation of a professional-grade ukulele. Paired with solid maple back and sides, the UTM-T achieves a balanced tonal response with crisp highs and defined lows that work across genres and playing styles. Aquila Nylgut strings contribute warmth and rock-solid tuning stability across the range, while the Nubone nut and saddle enhance sustain and clarity so every note articulates with presence and punch.
Playability & Ergonomics
The 430mm scale length and 37mm neck width feel natural in the hands, accommodating players of varying hand sizes with comfortable fret spacing and grip that won't fight you during extended playing. 18 frets give you the extended range needed for serious melodic work and improvisation, while the eucalyptus dark wood fingerboard offers a hard, smooth playing surface built for daily touring and studio work. Mother of pearl inlays catch the stage lights, and open guitar-style machine heads with gold finish and brown buttons deliver the precise tuning control you need when reliability matters.
