I broke down and bought a new uke from MGM at the Denver Ukefest on Saturday. He had a gorgeous Kanile'a super-soprano, but it was way too much for me right now. Then I played this. It sounded great, and felt really nice. It wasn't terribly expensive. And it had pretty interesting grain compared to other KoAloha ukes I've seen.
It has a nice "chimey" tone all up the fingerboard. Speaking of fingerboards, what wood is this one??? It isn't as dark as the pictures on their website, and it has inlaid wooden position markers (white dots on the side). Is it koa?
So far, I'm liking it a lot. This is my first Hawaiian-made ukulele.
