First of all, shout out to Uke Den, if he ever posts something to sell, jump on it. The Uke is flawless and he packed like it had to make a stop in a New Mexico Nuclear testing bullseye.
Now to the matter at hand. The KoAloha Opio Acacia Concert. Wow. Earlier I posted it felt small compared to my Kanile’a. It still does, but I’m adapting. I found out I am a horrible judge of Uke talent in the first few hours. I was so caught in a Kanile’a fanboy daze I couldn’t see the light.. Or maybe hear the truth... Which is KoAloha... The damn thing shimmers and resonates so long my dog’s ears take over. Man, this thing is legit and it’s their cost effective model.
I jumped from an entry level Kala to a Premium Kaniléa. I figured I could never take a monetary Uke step back and be satisfied. However, too many good things were said about the Opio series and I figured I would try it to tide me over while I waited for a Clara. Plus I had a trip planned and I needed a quick travel option. No idea what I was getting. This guy is amazing. I can’t put it down. The simplicity has its own allure.
I don’t want to put anyone down who considers an Opio an expensive Uke. In the wide range of uke options this thing is extremely cheap for its true value. This Opio series is really all you need. Assuming Soprano and Tenor models are as good. Which I’m positive they are or better.
Yes Ukes get better, but I flat out guarantee there is no better value for the money in the Uke universe.
So good, they can take their time with my Clara.
