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.

Simply put we adjust and set everything just right to make sure your Ukulele plays the best it possibly can.

How to become an Expert Ukulele Player ... or at least better than you were yesterday.

Talent vs Practice ... Maybe Talented people have just put in the practice time?

Often my students say things like "That woman's such a talented player' or "I wish I had half as much talent as him"   I tell them ... Show me a person with talent and I'll show you someone who has put in the hours practising their ukulele.

Talent is but one part of the learning puzzle, You can be born with a great ear and great motor skills in your fingers but if you don't practice how good will you be?

Unfortunately people you have to practice, and Repetition is the key. A little often produces results.  Play your ukulele 10 minutes a day, everyday, and you will see amazing results.

But practice doesn't have to be a BAD thing, if you love ukulele then just take the next step and fall in love with practising your ukulele.  Develop better ways to practice, change it up, make it fun, push yourself to try new strums and styles, Steele yourself to reaffirm the skills you already know ... use it or loose it.

THE IMPORTANT BIT  find people to play with, I cannot stress that enough.  If they are better than you, then learn from them, if they are worse than you, then teach them how to be better. Playing with others is what making music is all about.  And perhaps most importantly, never give up!

Now its 'official' practice has been confirmed to help you become an expert in anything. That bit 'to help you" is the very important caveat.  Practice develops your talents.  Psychologist Dr. Anders Ericsson claims to have determined that anybody can be an expert at anything ...  to become an expert, it takes 20 hours of practice per week for 50 weeks a year for ten years (a.k.a. 10,000 hours).

Luckily you don't have to be at the expert level to have fun playing your ukulele ... But it's amazing how the 'talented good players' play every day, even if it's just 10 minutes a day.

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

Can you Tune a Baritone Ukulele gCEA standard ukulele tuning?

QUESTION:

Can I Tune My Baritone Ukulele Ukulele Tuning gCEA?

QUICK ANSWER:
"Yes"  you can tune a baritone ukulele like a standard ukulele, but you need the right strings.

Aquila makes the AQ23U set of Baritone scale (length) strings that can be tuned to standard ukulele tuning of gCEA.

CLICK HERE to Buy Baritone gCEA Ukulele Strings  

BONUS:  FREE Online Ukulele Lesson, Yes you also get a voucher for a 1 on 1 video lesson with an experienced USA based Ukulele Master.

LONG ANSWER:
If you attempt to tune your standard baritone strings up in pitch to Standard ukulele Pitch (5 semitones higher) by simply turning the machine heads to tighten the strings you will most likely start snapping strings and/or pull your bridge off the top of your ukulele.

STOP! Get the Right Strings before you damage your ukulele

TUNING
The standard baritone ukulele strings are lower in pitch than the standard ukulele tuning. They are tuned to DGBE (the same as the top four strings of a guitar). They also differ from the standard ukulele as they are not in re-entrant tuning i.e. the strings go from low to high.

SCALE LENGTH
The Scale length of the baritone is longer than that of a Tenor Ukulele.  The strings are pulled to lower tension and produce notes lower in pitch than a regular ukulele.

CAN'T I JUST RETUNE MY BARITONE STRINGS?
If you attempt to tune your standard baritone strings up in pitch to gCEA you will most likely start snapping strings and/or pull your bridge off the top of your ukulele.

AQUILA GCEA STRINGS AQ23U
Baritone to Tenor tuning Conversion Strings made by Aquila are made specifically to produce notes of gCEA at the correct tension at the baritone scale length. From the treble side to bass side / 1st string to 4th string are about 025 031 038 027 in thousandths of an inch.

The strings are all plain Nylgut material with no wound stings.  Nylgut is a new formulation of polymerized plastic mixed with additives and patented by Aquila.
