In a world overflowing with 'ME TOO' Cookie Cutter ukulelesthe Ohana SK-28 is a breath of fresh air... the tone, the feel, the look, really are a world away from generic mass produced blandness.
The Rope binding looks fantastic. Rope binding is difficult to do and it adds to build time and expense but its worth it.
And the Centre Rope binding "Racing Stripe" is set into the length of the neck, the Ohana Logo moves to the back of the headstock, Visual Beauty trumps self promotion.

Since it Launched overseas the SK-28 has been a hot seller for Ohana. Now available in Australia, keeping up with demand has been the hard part.
Q. SETUP: DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
A. "We never JUST pick a box off the shelf and send it.
Every ukulele is checked for quality of finish, Tuned, Play Tested and Setup for best playability.
YES Setup ... It Makes ALL the Difference."

The SK-28 Soprano is another homage to a vintage instrument, inspired by the instruments introduced to Hawaii by the likes of legendary luthiers Manuel Nunes and Augusto Dias.
The 'Figure 8' or 'Peanut' body shape is a true classic, it is the closest representation of the Portuguese instruments brought to the Hawaiian islands.
Dias and Manuel Nunes the earliest ukulele makers and crafted ukuleles for more than 40 years and are legend amongst ukulele enthusiasts.
HISTORY
History tells that Samuel Kamaka and Nunes own son, Leonardo, were apprentices and continued making quality ukuleles. In 1998, the Ukulele Hall of Fame inducted Manuel Nunes into their honorees.
'Louis Wu of Ohana Music has come up with a fantastic homage to the 'original' ukulele, made in the traditional style.'
"If you are serious about your ukulele playing and uke collecting then a 'Peanut' body style soprano is a must have for you."
This soprano has such a pleasing warm tone and easy playability that you soon realise that the old master Luthiers really were onto something good.
