Oscar Schmidt OU7, Ohana Deluxe TK-70CG
April 24, 2009
Oscar Schmidt go one louder with the OU7. It looks cool, but if they’re going to keep jacking up the price they’ll have to switch to solid ukes pretty soon.
A ‘deluxe’ and ‘limited edition’ Ohana TK-70CG. Sexy cutaway, but not sure about the pink tuners (and I usually love pink).
One uke that might want to think about adding a cutaway is this Mike Chock Mango ukulele. What’s the point of 23 frets if you can only reach 12 of them? But I do quite like the pear shape.
Every time a vintage Martin 5K crops up on eBay I do a quick ‘pros and cons’ list of selling one of the kids. And in this case the uke has a lovely battered case – making the list dangerously close to even.
We’ve been total idiots. Practicing when all we had to do was learn to play the ukulele subliminally.
Easel style ukulele stand: classy solution.
My word, that OU7 is simply stunning.
byjimini: It does look good. A shame it’s not solid though.
I found the oscar schmidts really lovely to look at, but very quiet. I’m guessing if this is another laminate it won’t have much volume?
mute: I would guess that the sound wouldn’t be up to solid standards.
