Have they changed the way they make the Opio tenor recently? Does anyone know?
A couple of months ago or so someone was complaining about a dead note on an Opio tenor they bought and they ended up sending it back.
I had played an instrument from the same batch I guess and I LOVED it. It was such an expressive instrument even though there was a dead note but honestly, I didn't notice the dead note in real life playing and I had to go looking for it.
Anyway, my local music store just got another one so I played it today but I'm somewhat disappointed in this particular example. It just doesn't have the LIFE of the first one I played. The dead note is gone but so has all the instruments life.
Its just another mass market ukulele now. Nothing about it is worth much more than a Kala is worth.
Is this just variation from instrument to instrument or has KoAloha given in to silly complaints and changed something?
You can't please everyone so please just make the great instruments you know how to make. Some nubies may be happy now but you've just disappointed an experienced player.
