It's Here! My Ohana Sopranino--I'm in Love! (PICS)

pdxuke · Dec 30, 2009

My Special Ukulele Friends!

My Ohana SK21 Sopranino is here! And so is a holiday snow storm in Portland, OR:

Here without flash so you can see the snow storm out window, and

...with flash so you can see the uke a bit better.

I am absolutely in love. Came from Elderly, set up beautifully, action great, Aquila strings (still settling.) Love the bright sound. It's just adorable, so much fun to play.

And since I'm an actor who plays a one man Christmas Carol every year (http://pdxchristmas.com) and the uke is so small, isn't what to name it obvious?

TINY TIM.

Congrats on the new addition. I sure have enjoyed playing mine. Down the road, you might try Freemont black carbon strings, they sound great on the sopranino.

thanks for the tip--I'll put them on as the next pair.

BTW, what do you use for a case?

Ohana makes a very nice gigbag that fits the sopranino. Uke Republic has had them - don't know if they do right now or not, but check them out. http://www.ukerepublic.com/Cases.html

Gig Bag Ordered

Just ordered a Gig Bag from Mike at Uke Republic:

$28 shipped

I also talked to Ohana; they have a hard shell SK21 case in the works! :rock:

Now THAT is cool! I had an Ohana sopranino for a little while but my fumble fingers just weren't happy, though my ears were... have a great time with yours, Thom - they're sure cool itty bitty ukes!

I love my Sopranino! I've had it about a year, with aquilas as set up by MGM. It really 'opens' up, and intonation seems to get better the longer I have it. I may try the Fremonts on it at some point, as they are my new favorite string for my Flea.
Keep playing it, and you'll notice it getting better and better. A whole lot of fun for strummin!!!!

Cheers,
Skottoman

I've been wanting one of these for a while. That's great that Ohana is making a hardshell case for it! Hmm, hmm... I might have to give in and get one.

Big_e · Dec 31, 2009

Congrats! I love my sopranino and it's the axe I grab most often.

darn, didn't see one on the Elderly site

HaileISela · Dec 31, 2009

I guess that is the coolest look you can ever achieve, carrying a sopranino in a hardshell case with you^^

btw, what about "tiny timbre"?
