Koolaus new pono mp series in Ohai or Monkeypod which is now gaining popularity also in guitar making. Monkeypod is a beautiful grained and figured wood that sometimes here in Hawaii was considered inferior and many Hawaiian wood products such as calabashes and bowls were copied in asia and the philipines using monkeypod thus giving the wood a cheap connotation but recently some guitar makers are now reconizing it as a great tone wood and figured wood...check out your latest LMI catolog and see the prices for guitar sets...anyway used in Hawaii alot by makers such a Ka Lae and also by Ron yasuda this is a sneak look at the new Ohai line from Pono. this is a concert price full list for tenors are 299.95 for a solid wood uke...heres the peek
