An 8-string Tenor A/E Ukulele

Guitarists use 12-string instruments to attain a rich, chorused effect, and the Luna Uke High Tide 8-string A/E applies the same principle to the ukulele. Its tenor-sized, all-mahogany body delivers the perfect balance of warmth, sustain, and projection, along with the sharp, robust sound that ukes are known for. Take the stage with confidence thanks to Luna electronics. Benefit from extreme playing comfort by virtue of a great-feeling walnut-capped mahogany neck. What’s more, this ukulele’s cutaway design enables easy access to upper frets. The Uke High Tide 8-string A/E boasts eye-catching white binding, an abalone rosette, and abalone High Tide fingerboard inlays.

Warm-sounding mahogany body

The Uke High Tide 8-string A/E features a mahogany body. Mahogany is prized for its warmth, resonance, and sustain. When paired with a tenor-sized body like the Uke High Tide 8-string A/E, mahogany projects with a sharp, robust sound. The players here at Sweetwater are impressed by the gorgeous tone offered by this ukulele.

High-quality electronics equal amazing plugged-in tone

The Uke High Tide 8-string A/E sounds great acoustically, and you can take that same amazing tone onstage, thanks to its piezo under-saddle pickup and Luna preamp. A 2-band EQ enables flexible sound shaping.

Reviews

not exactly a unicorn
I was dying to get my hands on an 8-string ukulele but not spend a lot. Acoustic/electric was a plus. I ordered this cutie and the first thing I did was a string change. I rip the strings off every instrument I get and put on the strings I like - so I can really judge/hear the sound of the instrument at it's "new" best. Wooden instruments' sound improves with long term playing, so what you have at the beginning, is usually the worst it's going to sound if you take care of it. After the hassle fo stretching the strings, this 8-string Luna High Tide holds tune, unless it's crazy humid outside -then, nothing holds tune.

I use a good tuner with it because if strings are off the tiniest bit, when you have 4 pairs of strings, harmony degrades badly. I like this ukulele. Plugged in, is has perfectly acceptable tone. At this price point you are not buying a hand made koa ukulele.

If you are weak playing bar chords, they will be twice as hard for you, so work on them, if you get this uke. I love it. The neck is narrower than I imagined (though accurate in the specs), which is a good thing.

This is one of my favorite uses, though not the most costly. I like the bigger sound. Like a 12 string guitar, this is strictly a harmony instrument. you don't want to use this for much melodic work because of the double stringing.

This is a great uke to add to your collection - I would not use it as a 1st ukulele.

Could have purchase this instrument from several places - I always choose Sweetwater, if they have what I need. The service is excellent, my sales engineer, Rick, is great and my instruments and gear always arrive unscathed.

Very nice all around uke
After getting a replacement of this uke and it having a proper setup, this is an awesome uke. The one I had first received was very difficult to play. The action was very high. I'd never played an 8-string before, so I just assumed that's how they were supposed be, which is what I believe caused the bridge to break not even a week after getting it. I noticed the second I started playing the replacement, which was delivered within 2 days after filling for a replacement, which,thank you sweetwater for being so prompt. It played so smooth. It was like night and day. I really love this uke. It's a well built and solid uke for the price.

Faulty bridge on a nice uke
I recieved this very nice 8 string uke as an early birthday present only 5 days ago and the bridge completely come off the body! I didn't over tune it, didn't drop or damage it. I had it hanging on my wall in the factory bag. It was fine yesterday. Just went in today to play it, took it out of its bag it and noticed the damage. I only played it not even an hour a day! I have several other ukes from various companies and have and never seen anything like this at all. Very disappointed in this product and not a good first impression from Luna Ukuleles.

OK for certain things
I'm an experienced guitarist and ukuleleist for decades. I liked the idea of the double-strung eight string ukulele so I ordered this one. I don't know if it is the neck profile or the fingerboard width (narrower than some of my other Ike's) but at the first 2 frets, full bar chords are really a challenge. I have a strong and deft left hand but full bars on the first and second fret are just about impossible for me - harder than any high tension steel string acoustic guitar I've ever played. That set aside, when she's in tune, which is quite easily accomplished, the sound is sweet and full when one plays simple open chords. Bar cords up around the third Fred and higher are okay but still require an in ordinant amount of pressure. I'm thinking about having my luthier flatten the neck a little. It cannot make it harder to play, that's for sure, and it may increase my ability to play bar chords at those first couple of positions.

It's a pretty ukulele and the onboard electronics are sufficient for the instrument. I would've liked a tuner built in but it's not an expensive ukulele.
