Thanks for the info, Minamin.

The KoAlohas have been replaced but I liked them. They’re quite similar to Worths. And there’s the bonus of them looking cool.

It came in the mail yesterday- a lot faster than I expected shipping from Hawaii to New Jersey.

It’s a nice looking uke, which is of course the main draw. It’s a lot heavier than my 1950s Airline soprano, but lighter than my cheapie Brownsville concert. It has a nice tone, mellow and warm, very subdued. My girlfriend likes the sound of it better than the Airline, which I greatly prefer. Overall, I’m glad I bought it, but it won’t be replacing my main player.

The strings I don’t like so much. They make a nice sound, but feel really cheap. My Airline has nylguts, and I prefer their feel. I know you have a set of pink KoAlohas, what do you think of those? I’m thinking about getting a green set to match.

I also got the Intelli tuner, which is just about the greatest thing ever made for a semi-tone-deaf guy like myself. I wish I’d gotten one sooner.

I just mentioned these Kalas in a post. It looks cool. Let us know what it’s like when you get your hands on it.

Seems like a fantastic deal for a one-of-eight uke, I couldn’t resist its charm!

It really is a good price. It’s cheaper for me to buy one shipped from Hawaii to the UK than it is to get one here.
