Ohana TK-20CE Electric Acoustic Tenor ukulele fitted with an under saddle Pickup and battery powered Pre-Amp

$335 Tenor Electric Ukulele
Ohana TK-20CE


PICKUP ... PLUG IN ... POWERRRRRR
The TK-20CE is fitted with a pick-up and that mean you can plug it into an amplifier or PA system ...Powerrrrrr.

MAHOGANY SOLID WOOD TOP
The solid mahogany top is a great addition to a ukulele in this Price range.  The solid top vibrates with a clear and strong sound, and being solid the wood will age and sound better and better every year.



ELECTRIC PICK-UP
You get a full featured battery powered Pre-amp system working in tandem with the under saddle pick-up so you can use the bass and Treble sliders to craft your desired tone. You can adjust your tone from a bright rock tone to a smooth Jazz tone with the treble backed down.  Plenty of output volume too because of the battery preamp.

PLAYING SOLOS ARE A BREEZE.
The Neck is a nice contour and dimension.  Personally I like the Ukes with wider fatter necks, they are just more comfortable.  


That's part of why I like Ohana Ukuleles, their necks are just right, not too thin or too shallow,  generous with the shape of the rear of the neck full and round in your left hand.  Very comfortable. And the cutaway body style makes access to the top frets easy for soloing.




SPECS
Solid Mahogany Top with Cutaway
Belcat active EQ system with built in tuner
Laminate Mahogany Back Sides
Rosewood Fingerboard and Bridge
Top and Back Body Binding
Quality geared machine heads

Want a Better Rhythm Hand ... Listen to the Drummer ... its all there.

I tell my ukulele students if you want to develop a better rhythm hand you have to start listening to the drummer, start thinking like a drummer.
Drummers are telling you what the strumming pattern is, where the fills go, what beats to accent, it's all there just listen.
Just because you aren't the drummer doesn't meant you don't have to count.
And I leave you with this quote from perhaps the greatest rhythm hand in the business KEEF ... “Drums, eh,” says Keith Richards. “Without it you’re kinda nowhere'
