I'm looking at HMS and see that the Kiwaya KS-5 and the KoAloha Opio sopranos are both listed for $369. I actually already own the Opio and I love it but I'm also curious to how the Kiwaya compares with it. The fact that it's a laminate and thus less susceptible to climate changes is a plus. Any opinions?
 
KS-5 is a great sounding uke and a super value. Had UPT's put mine.
 
I bought a Famous FS-5 from ebay Japan a saved some cash. I had the chance to try a Kiwaya KS-5 and they are the same instrument, just with a different brand on the headstock. A very good soprano, but I like my Ohana SK 300G better.
 
Thanks for both your replies. I think I'll probably ask HMS their assessment since they sell both.
