Does anyone own or have you played a Ko'olau tenor, more specifically a T-1? If so how does it compare to the other high end K brands?
Thanks
Thanks
You don't really hear people talked about Ko'olau ukes. Even online I don't see many people play Ko'olau, it's mostly the other K brands. Its not loud as a Koaloha or mellow as a Kamaka and different than a Kanilea but it has a special tone to it. I love my Ko'olau even though its underrated K brand. It actually just cameback safely(thank God) from Ko'olau with a misi pickup.
Hey Dige,
If I may make a suggestion as far as low G strings are concerned, I prefer Savarez. Here's the link to the exact kind:http://www.stringsbymail.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_62_145_455. I've also played a couple of the Koaloha Pineapple Sundays which are really nice and bright and surprisingly well-balanced (physically) considering they've got a tenor neck on a concert body.

Are there any concerns regarding higher tension? My Ko'olau seems to be braced pretty lightly, and I'd hate to start pulling it apart due to my string choices. Thanks for the recommendations, though! It sounds like a lot of the strummers in the know have been working this string combo...
