Congrats!

Wishing you lots of fun with all three of them.
 
Thank You. Oooh the dilemma: Which one to play? And should they hang with front or backside out? ;)
 
Are the wood, cedar and willow laminate? They look very cool. Good for you. I’ve never really played much concert or soprano so buying a set like that never occurred to me but good on you. Enjoy!

Yes exactly, solid cedar.
 
Nice.
I wonder if they come out of the same factory as Ohana ukes. That's what they remind me of.
 
Lovely instruments.

It will be a lot of fun comparing the sizes for how they play and how they sound. Ceteris Paribus.
 
They probably wanted it to sound Hawaiian but then they those the Dolphin as a logo but I like them anyway.

"Mahimahi means dolphin, but also strong and wise, a deep demonstration of the love for the nature, life and sea of the Hawaiian culture." :confused:
 
I bet the tenor is made in the same factory as Ohanas and Mainlands. The body shape and headstock look the same, and the construction method at the fingerboard/neck joint looks identical. I love cedar tops, and those look great.

Right, but eating mahi mahi doesn't mean you're eating dolphin. That would be plain nasty. :mad:
 
Looks like they have mistaken the fish for the mammal

"There are two kinds of dolphins—the fish and the mammal.
Dolphin, the fish: mahimahi, pronounced MAH-hee-MAH-hee.
Dolphin , the mammal: naiʻa. "

But what you eat all depends on where you are I guess. In the fjords and sounds in Denmark, we have a small whale a Harbour porpoise which everybody enjoys seing and they follow the boats.

When I was kayaking Greenland, one day at small village, a man came along with a Harbour porpoise cut in half over his shoulder. He was bringing home dinner.
