WE SELL FUN AND HAPPINESS
Actually we sell ukuleles which is the same thing technically.  Welcome aboard the Ukulele Trading Co Australia … Aussie  Aussie  Aussie  Oi Oi Oi

You know how good you feel inside when you hold a puppy or kitten in your arms,  well Ukuleles are kinda like that feeling.  Fun and happiness … but without any fur allergies.

Ukuleles do seem to reproduce like cats though, and one ukulele is never enough.  And I testify that I’m the ukulele equivalent of the ‘Crazy cat person”.

"Ohana Ukuleles, Made To Be Played" is the company slogan... and they are not messing about.
Ohana ukuleles are some of the best value solid wood ukuleles around.

The TK-35G is ALL solid mahogany, not just the top, but the back and sides too.
A deep gloss finish and fine details adorn this tenor ukulele with outstanding tone and playability.

The Ohana TK-35G has a big sound and  it’s actually a very loud instrument.


CONSTRUCTION
The uke is a tenor, and is made from solid mahogany, imparting a more full tone but still a bright attack to notes… very rock.

Being a Solid Wood ukulele it will sound even better as it opens up over the years. As the wood dries out it becomes stiffer and lighter and become even better at transferring string energy to the sound waves we hear.

This is a top  line instrument with its beautiful gloss finish that makes it look as good as it sounds.

SET-UP INCLUDED
Simply put we adjust and set everything just right to make sure your Ukulele plays the best it possibly can.
Every ukulele tuned, play tested and inspected.
Frets levelled and crowned, string height at Nut and Bridge set to the most comfortable height.
Like with all Ohana instruments the workmanship is superb. Ohana ukuleles go through a detailed premium adjustment, ready to play.


SPECS
A deep gloss finish and choice details adorn a solid mahogany tenor ukulele with outstanding tone and playability.

Rosewood binding & head overlay
Deluxe geared tuners
Aquila strings
Bone nut & saddle

Guide to Ukulele Tone Woods; Mahogany Versus Cedar Vs Rosewood Vs Koa Vs Spruce Vs Ovankol

Many factors contribute to the tone of your Ukulele.

The choice of strings and the size (Soprano / Concert / Tenor) are probably the most obvious.

Design factors in construction, play their part also.  Such design choices as the placing of the internal braces and type of kerfing employed can mean the difference between a uke that sings and one that, well, just 'plonks'

Visually the most obvious differences in ukuleles is the woods used in construction.

Woods are chosen for their Tonal Characteristics as much as their looks, perhaps even more so.

Kala Brand Ukuleles has produced this handy guide to Woods and the tonal properties they exhibit.

Some final words of advice ... Use Your Ears! We are all different, and much like taste in Artwork or Food we all have our own ideas of what is 'Good'.

Some people perceive a Bright Crisp Ukulele as Shrillness or Thinness, others perceive a ukulele with a big bottom end bass tone as 'Dull".

"Horses for Courses" as they say

BANG FOR YER BUCK Go for Kala Satin Mahogany Series Ukulele or the even more economical Makala Dolphin Series Ukuleles


Kala Brand Ukuleles The Ukulele Trading Co Australia
The Ukulele Trading Co Australia is a proud Kala Brand Ukulele Dealer in Australia

G'day Ukulele Lovers.
If you are Brand New to Ukulele,
then you have Two Questions you need ask yourself.


Makala Dolphin Series ukuleles by Kala Brand for Sale from The Ukulele Trading Co Australia
Q 1. You need to think what size (Soprano/Concert/Tenor) would suit; Child or Adult? Big hands or Little dainty fingers?

Don't think for a minute that Soprano ukuleles are the 'Childs Size" Ukuleles, because they are for Adults too.

Soprano Ukuleles ARE NOT only for children, its just that Concerts and Tenors give you more room for big hands, and more frets to explore musically and the bigger body is louder with more bass too the tone.

Q 2. What Budget do you want to invest.   If you want to 'dip a toe in the water' then $40 will get you into a Makala Dolphin Soprano Series by Kala Brand Ukuleles.

A great starter soprano ukulele, the Dolphin Series Soprano Ukuleles come in 11 bright colors, have good GHS Ukulele Strings, and Bridge, Nut and Frets are in the right positions with a good standard of construction.

Purchasing a Soprano Makala Dolphin Ukulele is $40 well spent, save the frustration and disappointment and avoid those cheap and nasty Sub $30 ukes, they're just toys.

I Want A Larger Size Concert or Tenor Ukulele.
If you do decide you need a Concert Or Tenor Size Ukulele and you need to stay in the starter budget territory.  Then opt for the MK-C at $65, or the MK-T at $75, BUT its Any Color you like, as long as its Natural See through Satin Finish Mahogany Wood.  No fancy color paint jobs for Concert or Tenor ukuleles.  Again they come fitted with GHS Strings.


Makala Ukuleles Now Available with Pickups.

Simply the best entry level ukes on the market, and now you can plug the Makala Ukulele in!
These ukes have a fantastic sound, great looks and are easy on the wallet.  Budget Starter Ukuleles with Pickups are rare, but Kala Brand steps into that void.  The MK-CE $135 or the MK-TE $165





Have a Bigger Budget?
Or want to Sound Better and have an even better easier playing Ukulele?
  Step Up to The  Kala Satin Mahogany Series
 

Budget $120 for a Kala Satin Mahogany Series KA-S Soprano Ukulele
Budget $120 for a Kala Satin Mahogany Series KA-S Soprano Ukulele
If you want to sound even better, and have an even easier playing Ukulele then you might want to spend a bit more dollars.  Kala Satin Mahogany Series Ukuleles kick off at $120 for the KA-S Soprano.  A Super little instrument, classic Mohogany wood soprano honk in the midrange tone, fitted with the Italian Handmade Aquilar Strings (loud and feel great under the fingers) even nicer nickel frets, superior bridge and nut.

I retail Kala ukuleles here in OZ.  From Beginner to top of the range All Solid Hawaiian Koa Electric Ukuleles,  I can steer you right.  Here are some links to places to check out the Fabbo Kala ukuleles.
Budget $120 for a Kala Satin Mahogany Series KA-S Soprano Ukulele

Kala KA-TEM Tenor Exotic Mahogany Ukulele


 The Tenor Ukulele market is chock a block with options, but if you are in the market you really should check out the Kala Exotic Mahogany Tenor before you make a final decision... on a "Bank for Buck" scale you get a lot for your money.

The Kala KA-TEM retails in Australia for $175 and you get a lot of tone, playability and looks for your money.



Remember we check and  we setup every Ukulele we sell, so you won't get a "Drop Shipped" dog of a ukulele.  And we ship Australia Wide
.
Cheers CC
