Kiwaya (Famous) FC-5G Concert

Pono MGC-K Solid Mango Concert Ukulele PARTICULAR SIGNS  Concert  Solid mango top   Solid mango back & sides  Mahogany neck   Merbau bridge & fingerboard  Ko'olau Alohi All Plain strings  Bone nut & saddle  Grover open gear tuners  Nut width : 35mm  Satin finish   Scale length : 381mm / 20 frets  Made in Indonesia CASA OPINION Pono is a legendary brand that has played a major role in the rise of the ukulele over the years. Their instruments are made in Indonesia by the Ko'olau parent company, based in Hawaii. Their instruments are arguably in the upper mid-range, all made of solid wood and crafted to Ko'olau's exacting standards. This series is made from solid mango wood, increasingly prized both for its appearance and for the richness of its sound. The overall color is highly contrasting, with little variation from model to model. The satin finish offers a pleasantly soft, silky feel; for those who prefer a gloss finish, the same model is available on the site in gloss finish under the reference: MGCD.  The tone is lively and dynamic, both volume and sustain are excellent, and the sound is projected with a minimum of effort, all due to the resonance created by the lightweight construction. A very precise instrument, neither bright nor dark, the sound is perfectly versatile and lends itself to all playing styles.

The result is a unique sound that's fuller and more powerful.   Made entirely from solid mahogany, the resonance is particularly warm.  With Ohana, we've finally found the 5-string ukulele that's been missing from our catalogue!

The look is simple & elegant and the finishing is very good, and confirms Martin's know-how in the making of ukuleles. We particularly like the flat and thin neck which is a joy to play. If you like the typical koa tone and Hawaiian sounds, this is certainly the model for you.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!  But now, the UC200 Concert is finally arriving in our catalogue, and it has everything to make you love it: a more compact format, top-notch playability, and above all, that brilliant, warm and unique sound that you recognise from the very first notes.

Production of Koaloha ukuleles began in 1995, handcrafted, one by one, in Honolulu, and although they have undergone improvements over time, they still sound with the same signature: a tone rich in harmony, warmth and luminosity.Perfectly balanced, these instruments are ideal for all types of music. From finger picking to strumming, from classical to jazz, the Hawaiian Koa series sounds wonderful. In the hands, it's very pleasant, extremely light and well balanced. The build quality is obvious, and you know you're playing a top-quality ukulele. The overall impression is one of absolute classicism, with a magnificent 5-point crown-shaped headstock, and a sublime rosette delightfully named "Musubi" ( snack popular in Hawaii). You'll also benefit from the "better than the weather" warranty, which means you can have your ukulele repaired without any time limit. This Royal Pikake series has the same features as the glossy models, but with a satin finish. They have an ansewome projection, powerful vibrancy and a magnificent substain.

Kiwaya KPC-1K Solid Hawaiian Koa Concert Ukulele - Strummer serie PARTICULAR SIGNS   Concert  All solid Hawaiian koa  African mahogany neck  Rosewood bridge & fingerboard   Gotoh geared tuners  Bone nut & saddle  Scale length : 380 mm  Total length : 615 mm  Nut width: 38 mm  18 frets  Kiwaya K-BM fluorocarbon strings  Weight : 471 g  Gloss finish  Strap button  No gig bag  Made in Japan CASA OPINION The ‘Strummer’ series are more modern designs from Kiwaya, featuring a wide neck with an ultra-flat profile and a wide, shallow body for fast response and comfortable sustain.   This series benefits from the exacting standards of Japanese-made Kiwaya ukuleles, and is at the upper end of the Kiwaya solid wood ukulele range.  Demanding, high-precision craftsmanship gives these instruments remarkable finishes and a wonderfully classy look. These solid Hawaiian koa models are harmonically rich, with plenty of body and consistency in the sound, as well as plenty of brilliance and, at times, chime-like resonance. This makes them a versatile instrument, rooted in tradition yet resolutely modern.

Ohana CK-40 Concert ukulele Solid Redwood Limited Edition  PARTICULAR SIGNS   Concert  Solid redwood top  Solid rosewood back & side   Hardwood fretboard & bridge  Maple binding  Deluxe geared tuners  Bone nuts  Scale length : 15"  19 frets  Nut width : 35 mm  Aquila strings  Gloss finish  Hard case included CASA OPINION Redwood is a wood from the redwoods located along the Pacific Northwest coast and California. These are the oldest trees in existence today, and Ohana has been working with responsible local growers since 2011 to source materials for their Redwood Limited Edition series. Redwood has long been used to make acoustic instruments. It has a warm, rich tone that tends to project a little more than cedar. The combination with rosewood is particularly pleasing to the ear, providing warmth and substance, and from an aesthetic point of view the two woods are a magnificent color combination.

ANueNue UC1K All Solid AA Grade Koa Concert Ukulele W/Case (real pictures Model #AM05731) PARTICULAR SIGNS  Concert  Solid AA Grade Hawaiian koa body  Mahogany neck  Ebony bridge & fingerboard  Koa headstock  Buffalo bone nut and saddle  Rosewood binding  Gotoh planetary tuning machines  Gloss finish   20 frets   Nut width : 35mm  aNueNue Black Water strings  Blue hard case CASA OPINION This Bird series is already a cult and has put aNueNue among the best ukulele manufacturers in the world, thanks to the cutaway shape that allows access to the highs without compromising the sound volume of the instrument. The sound offers warm mids, deep lows and crystal clear highs and allows for greater versatility in playing, regardless of style or genre. What is also striking is the dynamic range of this instrument, the notes are clear and full even at very low volumes, which is perfect for fingerstyle playing.  Note that the series has evolved and now offers a full headstock with very reliable Gotoh Planetary tuners, as on the UT3K or UT200 models, which is more convenient to install the strings in my opinion.

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 body of the instrument is made of "Layered tonewood", and offers exceptional acoustic performance with an impressive, extremely well-balanced volume. Its light weight and extremely precise tuning make this ukulele an addictive instrument to play. 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.
