In a world overflowing with 'ME TOO' Cookie Cutter ukuleles the Ohana SK-28 is a breath of fresh air... the tone, the feel, the look, really are a world away from mass produced blandness. And at $365 AUD somewhat of a bargain as my Package Includes Hardcase, Setup, Tuner, Shipping within Australia
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.

Life is too short to play a crappy instrument; Happy Strumming is where it’s at.
"Ohana Ukuleles, Made To Be Played" is the company slogan... and they are not messing about.
Ohana ukuleles are some of the most inexpensive solid wood ukuleles around, and the TK-35G-5 is all solid mahogany, not just the top, but the back and sides too. A deep gloss finish and fine details adorn this solid mahogany tenor ukulele with outstanding tone and playability.
LOW G STRING OR HIGH G STRING... HAVE BOTH
Ahhh, every ukulele player's conundrum... High-G or Low-G!?
With Ohana's unique 5-String model, featuring both G's, all the guess work has been taken out!
Personally I think it sounds amazing...Very loud and boy that low and High G string combo is fantastic, Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...
Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.
WHY TWO G STRINGS? Well having the g strings doubled up (similar to a 12 string guitar), with the high G and low G an octave apart adds a much fuller bodied rhythm tone, gives it a beautiful and interesting sound but still a ukulele sound..
The Ohana TK-35G-5 has a big sound with a bit of jangle. It’s actually a very loud instrument.
The other strings are normal single and so the cea strings do not sound different to the normal 4 string ukulele. 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.
The headstock on the 5 string is visibly longer than an ordinary ukulele's headstock to accommodate the extra 5th string tuning key.
This is a top of the line instrument with its beautiful gloss finish that makes it look as good as it sounds.
SETUP IN THE USA Like with all Ohana instruments the workmanship is superb. Ohana ukuleles may be made in China but they all travel to you via Ohana Head office in the USA where they go through a detailed premium adjustment, ready to play.
