Hawaiian Boy, test of 3 ukuleles

They all sound the same.

Lol. Just kidding. The Kamaka has the most bass, for sure.

It's interesting that the one tenor if the bunch doesn't have more bass than it does. It has more than the Bruko, and less than the K concert.

My favorite? Maybe the Kamaka, yes.

Fascinating study! Gentle and meaningful playing, as always.
 
Yes C string on the Kamaka is very nice and mellow, but I think the Glyph is more balanced on all strings. Anyway both are very fine instruments. Brüko, even if a cheaper instrument is a good one too, with more roots sound and percussive impression, nice for some popular music.
 
Always nice to see/hear how well Brukos match up with high end ukes.

That Kamaka is a keeper, though. I thought it was really well balanced and mellow.
 
Nicely done Val.
I thought all 3 stood up well with the comparison.
My personal choice was the tenor although I too was surprised with the "complete" range of the Kamaka.
I am interested in the price of each of the ukes. I think the middle one could become my choice on that basis.

After hearing the ukes speak for themselves I am now interested in hearing more (i did read post #4) about what you think of them....
