Hi
I am a newcomer to the forum and this is my first post. I have two Koaloha ukes bought secondhand, both solid Koa, one a Soprano and the other a tenor strung low G. They both have a warm sound that I love. I recently bought a concert solid koa Pineapple Sunday (which looks beautiful) to complete my collection. It doesn’t have the same warm sound like the others and sounds more like a banjolele.
Could this be a string issue( someone suggested using s Worth Brown low G set) or does that particular instrument have a shriller sound anyway. (I know I should have tried it but I’m UK based and believed that because it was a Koa Koaloha it would have similar characteristics to the other two. Thank you, Gary.
