Maple has been used for instrument making for hundreds of years and has proven itself as a superior choice for string instruments. However, maple can be quite expensive and many string instruments are made from a laminate maple material.

The Makai SMT-80 Tenor is made from a special composite wood especially designed for ukuleles. It is not the cheap plywood with scrap wood glued in the middle. Their durability makes them an excellent choice used in the soundboard allowing for the required thinness to produce a louder sound and are not vulnerable to grain splits. The Makai SMT-80 Tenor is very popular, has exceptional sound quality and is a great value.

Each Makai SMT-80 Tenor factory inspected by a qualified technician prior to shipping for smooth fret ends, precision normal action and resonant sound quality. The Makai SMT-80 Tenor is ready to play right out of the box, however some slight tuning may be required. When you compare the overall price of the Makai SMT-80 Tenor to other online websites, you will find that this is a very affordable instrument and one you will enjoy playing.
