Ohana Vita question

fxmatador · Aug 15, 2008

Anyone familiar with the Ohana Vita? I recently purchased one and I'm wondering whether it's considered a soprano or a concert uke? Its body is about the size of a concert but the neck is soprano size.

Just curious, it's a great uke by the way! :music:

Why don't you ask Russ_buss? Perhaps he can tell you more about it.

The size of a uke is roughly defined by the length from nut to saddle, so if it's a soprano neck, you probably get soprano length. Kind of fits with the opposite of "super"-models (super-sop, super-concerts etc), which have the body of a soprano / concert etc but the neck of the next larger model.

so yeah, i'm no expert, so when i got it i assumed it was a soprano based on it's size. but when i looked it up on the ohana website, they label it a concert. hope that helps.

I really like my Vita, it's much louder and the tone is much deeper than my Vineyard standard soprano. And the geared tuners are a real plus. Thanks for the info guys!
