New Uke Day! - Ohana SK-25Z

I can't contain my joy at being the new owner of a new solid zebrawood Ohana soprano ukulele today! (And not even a month after First New Uke Ever Day!). It will not be surprising to anyone that going from a laminate instrument to a solid wood one is quite sonically exciting. Not only does it sound amazing, but I feel like it's easier to play... the action is a little lower and the whole instrument just sings. I've got the Aquilas it came with on there now, with no plans to change until I learn my chord changes better.

Here are the specs and some pics for those who are interested:

* Gloss finish
* Deluxe Grover geared tuners
* Solid zebra wood top, back & sides
* Mahogany neck
* Rosewood fingerboard (15 frets) and bridge
* Mother of Pearl dot inlays
* Bone nut and saddle

Glad to hear you're loving your new uke's sound. Congrats!

It's beautiful! I love zebrawood, too. Congratulations on your new friend!

Very Cool. It is very beautiful looking. I like the old style open tuners as well.

I normally like plain mahogany ukuleles but that zebrawood looks pretty sweet.
Congrats, on a beautiful instrument, have fun!

Congrats. Looks beautiful. Happy strummin.

Nice! That zebrawood sure is purdy!

Beautiful! Congrats on your new uke. I bet you fall in love.
Oh, and real joy CANNOT be contained!
Enjoy it...

I really was impressed with that ukulele when I wrote a review of one in Ukulele Player Magazine. Ohana has a winner there.

the smile on your face says it all, njoy your new uke

That is beautiful!
