I went looking for a Kamaka-quality tenor uke, and the only one I found was a gold-label vintage tenor that was dead sounding… must have been a second-quality instrument when new and store in a dry home with no humidifier. But the shop had a pretty KoAloha concert. I was trying various tenors and a couple sopranos when I tried this KoAloha… wow! It played so easy and had the sound of a beautiful jazz guitar. I pulled out all the hundreds and fifties I had for the tenor and bought the uke, a humidifier and a hardshell case. It is still my number one, go-to ukulele. I found I disliked the tone of Aquila strings but prefer the tone of Worth Browns over the factory-installed Worth Clears… but the clears would be second choice. I am rethinking buying a high-end tenor unless it is as good or better than my KoAloha concert.

A few years back, I bought a Pineapple Sunday Concert Ukulele here in Hilo. I just love it and have a lot of compliments. I wish I can have Pops autograph it for me. What are the chances? Mahalo

I’ve had a Koaloha Concert for about three years. It sounds as good as everybody claims. It has held up to many, many hours of hard use, and still been perfect for concert performance. I play it with Worth Clear fluorocarbon. These give it a darker sound than any others I’ve tried. I’ve had a K-Spot pickup installed and I did have the friction tuners replaced with Gotoh Mini tuning machines. Although the instrument always held very well, the Gotohs make accurate tuning very easy. I know Koaloha has some models with geared tuners. They would be my preference. Unless you want to have an ukulele custom made to your liking and needs, you can’t get any better than a Koaloha.

I got my KoAloha soprano back in 2000 at the Ala Moana Mall ukulele kiosk. Sadly, it sat around, gathering dust, for 7 or 8 years, until I finally turned to it as my travel instrument–airlines can make a cheap guitar very expensive. I kick myself for the lost time. This baby has serious tone and volume! When I let someone check it out, I tell them, “Treat it like a gun, brah: Dis no toy!” No ka oi!

BTW, my Korg AW-2 tuner makes precise tuning a breeze! Now I have no excuse for not picking up my uke and learning more song.

Mahalo nui loa, KoAloha!

I LOVE KoAloha! Some great people there in the factory and the ukuleles are an incredible work of art. Very cool.

buathier: I don’t sell any ukes myself I’m afraid. The Sceptres are hard to come by – particularly in Europe. The only place I know selling one is musicguymic on eBay but don’t hang around because they tend to go quite fast.
