The Taro Patch Tenor is built for the performer who wants a larger voice and more presence without sacrificing traditional sweetness. Utilizing an eight string setup popular in 1920s Hawaii, the strings are tuned in unison, delivering a wall of sound that is similar to the rich texture of a twelve string guitar. The all solid mahogany construction ensures every note is backed by a punchy and clear mid range. This is a must have for any serious enthusiast looking to master slack key styles or add a symphonic layer to their ensemble.
