Mitchell

collapse expand iconDescription

The 12-fret Mitchell MU70 concert ukulele is a sweet-sounding instrument with all the features you’d expect from a classic ukulele. It features premium tonewoods such as a spruce top, rosewood back and sides and mahogany neck. The spruce top provides a strong and bright tone that really shines through, while the rosewood back and sides offer a robust tone. The tonewood pairing of rosewood and spruce is a classic combination that will give you the timeless ukulele sounds you desire.

Premium Tonewoods Offer a Sweet Sound

The Mitchell MU70 concert ukulele is constructed from some of the most popular tonewoods available for ukuleles. The top is made from spruce while the back and sides are constructed from rosewood—one of the most sought-after pairings by musicians who play acoustic instruments. The Mitchell MU70 also features an arch back design, which increases its projection. The neck is also constructed from mahogany, one of the most popular tonewoods used for the neck of a ukulele. It features great strength at a lower weight, which makes this ukulele a comfortable instrument that’s easy to play for any level of player. The Indian rosewood fretboard adds to the premium playability of this Mitchell concert ukulele.

Attractive Features Add An Elegant Touch

In addition to its premium tonewoods, the Mitchell MU70 12-fret concert ukulele features genuine abalone inlay and attractive abalone rosette that give this ukulele a classic look and feel. The mahogany neck and rosewood back and sides make this ukulele equally striking to look at and play. The headstock also features a distinctive beveled edge with rosewood overlay for a classic look.

A great Uke for a great price

I went ukulele shopping a few months ago and I decided to take a look in guitar center. When I checked out the ukes the guy took out this beautiful uke from a box unwrapped it and I was like "that's the nicest design i've ever seen on a uke." The ukulele sounds really nice, a very full tone. I later went and compared it to a Koa wood at Ted Brown's. The lanikai koa wood was just a tiny bit better, but it was $250! So I stuck with the mitchell and I'm not disappointed

Great, but not below the 10th Fret

After playing ukulele for a few months with the beginner $40 ukulele I decided to take it to the next level and get a decent ukulele. I saw this one in the store and loved its appearance and bought it. It worked great. It is also very durable. But when I began to learn songs that when higher on the neck above the 10th it was hard to hold chord due to the strings being so far from the fret board. If you are a beginner and want a ukulele to play simple songs near the top of the fret board then this is a good ukulele for you. IF you are a player that wants to really advance and learn difficult songs I would not by this uke. I personally suggest saving up a little longer and getting the Cordoba 20TM-CE for $199. It has a great sound both electrically and acoustically(this is also electric, not just acoustic like the Mitchell above) and holds chords and notes great below the 10th fret. It also has a skinnier neck so it is easier to hold chords. I personally thought the Mitchell had too fat of a neck. Its a great uke, but I would suggest the cordoba.

    My 8 year old daughter is a very talented musician and singer, having learned to play ukulele at a very young age and performing songs that she's written for crowds of 500+. She bought this ukulele with money that she received for her birthday and it is beautiful - very nice glossy finish with inlay around the sound hole and outer edge of the top. When she bought this one, she already had 5 other ukuleles and I honestly believe they ALL (even the cheap ones) sound better than this Mitchell! If you want to spend a lot of $$ for something pretty to hang on the wall, then this one is for you. If you are interested in tone, volume and overall sound - buy something else!

  • Excellent value for money.

    Really well put together. Construction and fit and finish is just perfect. Really attractive lil uke. That said, since the design is much more guitar-like, don't expect it to play like a traditional ukulele. The tone, and especially the projection are quite different. However, it is really nice in it's own way. Tuning is super stable.

  • I have purchased two of these!

    As a violinist with a chronic shoulder problem that is keeping me from playing my violin, I wanted an instrument that is easy to transport and that doesn't stress my shoulder in any way. I visited Guitar Center, and asked them to show me a good beginner's ukulele. They brought out a soprano uke, which - after strumming a few chords - proved to have too high a range for my taste. When they showed me this Concert Ukulele, I knew immediately that this was "the one". It settled comfortably into my arms, and felt warm and welcoming. The fretboard is sized nicely for my small hands, and ohhhhhhh - the sound!! It has a mellow voice that lends itself perfectly to my preferred finger-picking style. I've found a true "soul mate" in this ukulele, and I have absolutely NO regrets about its purchase.
