For sale: Ohana TK-35 all solid mahogany tenor . EDIT: SOLD!
Please note: This instrument is "B" stock. It has a few minor cosmetic imperfections, but is otherwise perfectly sound. (And sounding...)
My wife and I have a severe case of UAS, and are trying to combat it by parting with some of our instruments that don't see a lot of play time, but certainly deserve to be played. I purchased this instrument new in 2017 from Elderly Instruments, in Lansing, MI. It was my go-to tenor until I realized that I very much prefer concert scale instruments.
All solid mahogany top back and sides, in matte finish, tenor scale. Geared closed back tuners, tie-bar bridge.
As noted at the top, this is technically a B-stock instrument. Ohana sometimes has some instruments that have a few blemishes and can't pass normal inspection but they are otherwise structurally sound. This one has a few finish imperfections here and there, but nothing glaringly wrong and they just give it more character. It has a little strum wear on the fretboard, and a bit of shine on the base side of the upper bout from play.
It sounds and plays great, but I just don't really play it these days. Currently strung high-G with Fremont Blackline fluorocarbon strings. It has lived its entire life in a smoke-free, pet-free, climate controlled home, with special attention paid to humidification.
$180 shipped via USPS, with canvas covered foam-core case included, to the lower 48. (Paypal preferred.) The fingerboard and bridge are rosewood, so I don't want to deal with paperwork headache of shipping this ex-US. If you are interested, send me a DM, and thanks for looking!
