Ohana SK-10S Soprano Entry Level Ukulele Designed in California and Manufactured in China punches well above its weight class

Ohana SK-10S Soprano Ukulele

The SK-10S is the entry level Ohana ukulele, it is the least expensive in their range of California USA designed but China built ukuleles, but you know what? The SK-10S actually sounds good and is easy to play. And considering it's price point, it scrubs up as a really good little soprano uke that wont cost you an arm and a leg.

$70 AUD
+ FREE Postage in Australia.
+ FREE Set-Up

A lot of the "starter" Ukuleles can be left wanting for tone and playability, and I find that many people who get the ukulele bug can easily "out grow" their first ukulele and start looking for something that sounds better in the Intermediate category of $100 plus Ukes.

At $70 Aussie dollars it would be a mistake to dismiss the little SK-10S as 'just another beginner uke" because this entry level Ohana Soprano actually sounds nice and is inviting to play.

Punching well above its weight class it easily straddles the beginner / intermediate line, a world away from the cheap toy ukes.

It may be Ohanas entry level student soprano Ukulele but they got the SK-10S basics right, they even fit as standard spec the Italian Aquila Strings, and at $70 Aussie Dollars you can't go wrong with this ukulele ... it is possible to buy cheaper ukuleles, but the extra money spent on this instrument is well worth it ...

SUMMARY:
It is a great uke to start on, or suitable for someone stepping up from the world of cheapo ukuleles and for only $70 bucks they play fantastic, sound sweet and offer CHEAP FUN FUN FUN.

SPECS:
* Soprano Size
* Quality Geared tuning Keys
* Rosewood Fingerboard and bridge
* Mahogany top, back and sides (laminate)
* Aquila Italian Strings

SOLD

The KA-S Soprano Ukulele is from the Kala Satin Mahogany Series.

If you're looking for a cheap but good quality and reliable ukulele, this is one of the best.

This is a great little "first Ukulele" to learn on, or a second ukulele as a “Car / Picnic / Beach ” uke. It has nice tones and the KA-S represents "Great Bang For Buck"

The Kala Mahogany Series Ukulele offer a full-bodied tone with plenty of "Sweet Highs" and "Mellow Lows" that combine for a full rich sound.

Traditional white binding on the top and the back accent the satin finish, while chrome die-cast tuners assure your instrument will stay in tune

I set up every ukulele to ensure you get the absolute best playing and sounding uke for your money! This includes a thorough inspection and adjustments needed to Saddle / Nut heights, and Fret work.

I have Packaged this KA-S up with Hardcase and Headstock Tuner as a "Starter pack" with everything a new uker needs: Case, Tuner, decent Aquila strings and, most important of all, a professional set-up.

REVIEW

Open the hard-case and whoa it looks so damn good. Beautifully figured Koa wood all round in a gorgeous Honey Blond. The Gloss finish is of that "Dipped in Glass" level of shine. Lots of hand-sanding and sprayed coats are needed to achieve this level of finish.

The Abalone inlay binding is installed neat as a pin in the Rosette, Top and Headstock, and although Abalone won't improve the tone, it endows the CK-350 with that massive "Wow factor" where ever it goes.

Select Solid Koa Wood top, back and sides with 19 fret rosewood fingerboard and rosewood bridge. Mahogany neck with koa headstock overlay. Abalone inlay, bound body, glossy finish, deluxe tuners, bone nut and saddle. I find that Ohana Ukuleles always have well-dressed frets, the CK-350G is no different, it is really rich full sounding uke of fine craftsmanship.

Worth Ukulele Strings shipment arrives in Australia

My latest shipment of worth Strings arrived today, this time I included Baritone and 8 String sets into the mix. I do most of the Browns, but not the Clears, they are special order.

The table shows the Model, Gauges and the Tone.

If you want to calm down a ukulele and knock off some of the brightness then fit a set of Worth Browns. I find them to be lovely and warm sounding with a jazzy mellow tone and they have less finger squeak and extraneous handling noise, especially if you like a Low G as its Not Wound.

I also LOVE the feel under my fingers, if you like to play lead and bend those notes then I highly recommend you try a set of Japanese Worths. They feel nice and soft on your finger tips, you can bend a string without it rolling under your fingertips.

Worth Brown Ukulele Strings Tone Comparison Chart

ABOUT WORTH STRINGS
"I’m Masaya Takahashi producer of Worth Strings.“Worth Strings” has been selling well since we started to sale, first of September 2002.As I said on the strings page, When I started playing the ukulele,I searched for strings I liked, but couldn't find them in existing products. At last I found Fluoro Carbon,but to get the strings, I had to purchase a large amount,that I could never use in my lifetime.
Thankfully many players liked it.First, there were just 3 types. But little by little our customer’s desire for more variations, and now we have many different strings, as you know.“Worth Strings” is made of an special material called Fuluoro carbon. The specific gravity is about 1.78(nylon:about 1.14). The features are a clear sound and a good balance, so it can be adaptive not only for solo play but also for stroke(strumming) play.

Therefore, despite “Worth Strings” is higher price many people choose them,because the length is longer than other company’s string, and you can get two from one of our strings sets as long as normal size ukulele. Many Japanese customer are particular about sounds and intonation,and they are very satisfied with Worth Strings."

Try a Baritone Ukulele for More Volume and Aquila gCEA Vs DGBE tuned strings

QUESTION: I need Maximum Ukulele Volume
I got an interesting question via Ebay, someone asking about how to get more volume and what ukulele to go for, interested in Baritone or Resonators.

My Answer: The larger in size you go the more volume you get out of a ukulele because the sound box is bigger and the top is larger. But you get a deeper more rounded mellow sound out of the bigger ukuleles.

So a little Soprano may actually have more "cut through" and be perceived as louder as all the energy is centred in the Mids and Treble range, which we humans hear best.

CHANGE STRINGS TO AQUILA NYLGUT STRINGS:
If your Ukulele is a Starter low end one then fitting a set of the Italian Aquila Strings will increase your volume over the nasty clear fishing line junk that are fitted some starter ukuleles.

RESONATOR MECHANICAL AMPLIFICATION:
If max volume to get heard above the crowd is what is required then the Resonator Ukuleles are the way to go, Banjoleles are still the loudest of the ukuleles, but they sound like, well... banjo.

BARITONE THE BIGGEST UKULELE:
Baritones are the biggest ukuleles and sure enough they are loud, but Baritones are not tuned like a ukulele (Uke = GCEA five steps above guitar). Baritones are tuned like a guitar in same register of DGBE (basically no E or A strings)

BARITONE gCEA STRINGS:
Great new is that Aquila do a set of Ukulele strings for Baritone ukes that convert them to Ukulele tuning in the same 5 steps above register. Normal baritone strings snap if you try and tune them up five steps. So you get that baritones big box volume, but in that higher register of Ukulele.

If you want a set of those Aquila GCEA baritone strings give me an email.

Cheers CC
