hawaii: Yes! I communicate with Tekla (helpful person!)
i hope i can visit Hawaii in coming 2-3 years~so i can go to Kamaka factory^^
Tell Tekla Len says hello...she will get a big kick out of it!...
she is very helpful and knows a lot about the Kamaka ukes...
many members on the UU from Hong Kong...have fun!
Hammond: i will find you to play with i get it!
Newportallocal: Yea! i am so hurry to get this Tenor now^^
mm stan: Actually, i search my information to see what brand i should get and Kamaka is long History brand...so i think it is no doubt they have many experience on it.
i try one in HK music store and i like its tone. i think all K brand have much better tone than other brand name. isn't it?
Similar idea, for guitar, i will get Fender, Martin and Gibson
***Daniel Ho will have concert in HK soon and i will go to see his playing^^
Aloha Misty....
Wish you try before you buy...because all ukuleles have their own voice, even the same brand and model can sound real different...because of the variations in the building process...
Even after receiving it from the factory, I send it to HMS and get their wonderful setup just to be sure you get it sounding right and the best action for your comfort and playability...
Get it done all one time before it leaves Hawaii..... maybe new strings like the oasis that comes out next month from strings by mail too....yes upgrade the factory strings for the best
preformance...you can get oasis from strings by mail....
I'm envious. Even though I enjoy the concert scale the most, would like to collect the entire line of Kamaka instruments some day. Your right, the Kamaka family and crew are a great group of folks. I want to visit the factory some day too.
p.s.
Stan has good advise
Congratulations on a wonderful instrument! Can't wait to see it!
Thx! Stan~
But what can i do? As i just order it directly from Kamaka...so i can't do any testing~~
or i need to have a setup in the local music store?
Or i need to change the Kamaka Orginal string immediately? i have heard about that the sound will be totally different if i use other breand 's string~
