Maikai and Ohana the same

An owner of an ukulele store who will remain anonymous basically told me he like the Makai brand because they are really Ohanas, made in the same factory , same quality, ...but at a better price point. I am a big fan of Ohana so I am just sharing this info.

I spelled Makai wrong in the tread title. Sorry.

I had come to this conclusion a while ago, but it seems like Makai ukes are become scarcer and scarcer! Are they still in business?

They have some at instrument alley.

I've got both. I actually think that the Ohana is more like the Mainland brand. I had a cedar top w/Rosewood by Ohana and Mainland and they were the same.
