Launched recently overseas the SK-28 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 Ohana SK-28 model is copied from  an ORIGINAL UKULELE made by cabinet maker Augusto Dias." 

The 'Figure 8' or 'Peanut' body shape is a true classic, it is the closest relative 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.
