When I started my uke journey not too long ago, all I craved for was a KoAloha Red label...they were and still are relatively hard to find so the thought of owning a Black label never really crossed my mind.
During this time, I have had the chance to own and play many other wonderful ukes but I have never owned a KoAloha before as I wanted my 1st KoAloha to be that special one. Kinda like the poster you hang on your wall as a kid and you tell yourself...someday....
Today, I am the lucky owner of the KoAloha LAVA.
Could have sworn the fret board in the original pictures from KoAloha's page were all black...but when I opened the case a few hours ago, was surprised to see the 20th anniversary inlays.
This Uke sounds rather distinct, you know how most ukes sound the same but not the same... this one has a sonic signature all of its own and it does stand out nicely from the pack.
A big thank you to Andrew, Zach, Joel, Corey for the sound demo and all at HMS for making this happen and to the wonderful people/ luthiers at KoAloha.
Time for the pics!
