Well, it looks great and sounds great... and the case is super-cool.
Hey Mickey, I understand these are very nice sounding and quite loud as well. Hope you enjoy it. Is the case from Ohana? Also, is the saddle compensated?
Love the looks and sound of this uke. Another member has one and has made videos with it.. lots of fun!
How different does this sound from the Ohana Bell uke -- I was amazed when I played one of those. I have to say that for a mid-range uke you simply can't beat Ohana for quality and variety.
Congrats, they are great little ukes with a loud voice, I got one a while back and liked it a lot with the Aquila's it had on it, but when I tried the flourocarbons on it....WOW! they are a great match for these ukes.I put Martin Fluorocarbon strings on the Ohana CKP-70 Vita-Uke reproduction and it really came to life! Wow!
I will be recording a tune with the studio equipment to post online.
I was going to do that today, but at 90 degrees temperature and the air and fans blasting, I decided to wait.
I agree, the only thing I've been able to fault with mine is the short neck!Love the folky stuff myself...O for a concert neck Ohana

After playing the aNueNue "Vision 1879" uke so much, I have truly grown to love the twelve-fret neck. The biggest benefit of it is that the fretboard is not under your fingertips when finger-picking. Steve Boisen (Barnkickers) made that observation and he is right. A twelve-fret neck is easier for finger-picking.
I love my Ohana Vita - and couldn't agree more. I play some fiddle tunes on it, as it seems particularly suited to that style of play, and it's an easy uke to fingerpick with. BTW - Great video on You Tube of you playing the Vita, Mickey!
BTW - how much is that Ohana case and where did you get it from?!
