Lanikai Mahogany Series Tenor Ukulele — Satin Natural, NuBone XB, D'Addario EJ88 (LMAT)

The Lanikai LMAT is a tenor size ukulele in the Lanikai Mahogany Series — mahogany body in satin natural finish, mahogany headstock overlay, NuBone XB nut and saddle, walnut fretboard and 8-hole no-tie bridge with single ply ABS white binding, pearloid 5mm dot inlays, open back chrome tuners, wide nut and neck profile, D'Addario EJ88 tenor ukulele strings, chrome strap buttons and a Lanikai padded gig bag. The tenor's longer scale and larger body deliver more volume and a deeper, fuller tone than concert or soprano sizes — and the mahogany body brings the traditional warm tonal character that has defined ukulele construction for over a century. The preferred choice for players who want the most guitar-like GCEA ukulele and the most traditional tonal wood in the same instrument.

Angkor Music — Mahogany Tenor vs LU Series Tenor, and Why Tenor Is the Most Versatile GCEA Size

The LMAT and LU21T are both tenor GCEA ukuleles sharing NuBone XB nut and saddle, walnut fretboard and bridge, 8-hole no-tie bridge and strap buttons. The differences are the same as between the LMAC and LU21C — mahogany body versus okoume laminate, D'Addario EJ88 versus Aquila strings, pearloid inlays versus plain dots, and mahogany headstock overlay. Players who want the traditional mahogany tonal character should choose the Mahogany Series. Players who prefer Aquila strings or okoume should choose the LU Series. The tenor size itself delivers the most volume, warmest tone and most guitar-like playing feel of any GCEA-tuned ukulele — wider fret spacing, longer scale and larger body than concert or soprano. Mahogany on a tenor body produces the combination most associated with classic professional ukulele tone — warm, round, full and sustained. For full detail on tenor size advantages and how tenor compares to concert and soprano, see the LU21T product page. For the distinction between GCEA tuning (this instrument) and DGBE baritone tuning, see the LU21B product page. We stock the LMAT alongside the full Lanikai range at Angkor Music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the LMAT and the LU21T?
Both are tenor GCEA ukuleles from Lanikai sharing NuBone XB nut and saddle, walnut fretboard and bridge, 8-hole no-tie bridge and strap buttons. The LMAT has a mahogany body, D'Addario EJ88 strings, pearloid inlays and mahogany headstock overlay. The LU21T has an okoume laminate body, Aquila tenor strings and plain dot inlays. Choose the LMAT for traditional mahogany tonal character and D'Addario strings; choose the LU21T for okoume character with Aquila strings.

Is tenor the right size for me?
Tenor is generally recommended for adults, guitar players and players with larger hands who find smaller sizes cramped. For a full comparison of soprano, concert, tenor and baritone sizes, see the LU21T or LU21C product pages which contain detailed size comparison tables.

What tuning does the LMAT use?
Standard GCEA ukulele tuning — the same as soprano and concert sizes. This is not the same as baritone DGBE tuning. See the LU21B product page for information on baritone tuning.
