At the risk of being ridiculed, I purchased a Koalana Concert uke in early July. Missed one on ebay and contacted the seller who had 2 more for sale. He agreed to hold one for me as I was scheduled to go to Honolulu and could go to Kaneohe to pick it up. I met him and chose between the 2 he had. I was pleasantly surprised at the looks and sounds it produced after changing the strings to Aquilas. Also was a good price for a solid mahogany uke. I'm very happy with it. Also got Jan Luna of Society of Seven to autograph it as well as Troy Fernandez.
On another note, I then purchased a solid Mango with Koa neck Concert from Edmund Becani strung low g. Love everything about this uke, warm and mellow is the key words. Have a solid Curly Koa Concert on hold again with Edmund which I'll pick up this weekend when I go to Honolulu from Maui where I'm at now. Excellent deals I got from Edmund that I couldn't walk away from.
In closing, anyone know why Koalanas are hard to find?
