CASA OPINION
The “Eco” series, known as “Famous” (in Japan), is KIWAYA's oldest brand since 1955, and also the best-selling series in Japan.
Previously reserved for the Japanese market, we received these models in Europe under the name Kiwaya and the designation “eco series.”
In order to harmonize their offering, they have now decided to distribute the “eco series” in France and Europe under the name “Famous.”
Apart from the label, nothing has changed—it's still a Kiwaya made in Japan!
The instrument is made of laminated Hawaiian Koa, and offers exceptional acoustic performance with impressive volume, extremely well balanced. The neck profile is flat and easy to grip. The Arajuez strings installed on top are soft, offering a pleasant touch and a warm, mellow tone.
Kiwaya has a long history as a ukulele manufacturer, which makes this Eco series different from and above other ukuleles in the same price range.
