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 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 instrument with addictive playability.

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.

Kiwaya KPS-1K Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Ukulele - Strummer serie PARTICULAR SIGNS   Soprano  All solid Hawaiian koa  African mahogany neck  Rosewood bridge & fingerboard   Gotoh geared tuners  Bone nut & saddle  Scale length : 345 mm  Total length : 560 mm  Nut width: 38 mm  17  frets  Kiwaya K-BM fluorocarbon strings  Weight : 433 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.

KoAloha KSM-01 Soprano

Koaloha KSM-01 Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Ukulele (real pictures) PARTICULAR SIGNS   Pineapple soprano  Solid Hawaiian koa top  Solid Hawaiian koa back & sides  CNC shaped mahogany neck  Ebony bridge & fingerboard  Koaloha gear tuners  Tusq nut & saddle   16 frets  Nut width : 37mm  Koaloha 5-pointed crown headstock  Paua Abalone headstock logo  Paua Abalone fret maker  Koaloha's "Musubi" sound hole  Gloss finish  Hard-case include   Made in Hawaii  CASA OPINION This particularly sublime model (the one that will be shipped) features magnificent koa waves, with lots of contrast between light and dark, giving it a lot of character. Classic and timeless, the pineapple shape is in the purest Hawaiian tradition. After comparing it at length with the standard version (the KSM-00 soprano), we found them to be extremely similar, but we perceive more pep and projection in this model. As you know, each instrument is unique, and in any case, two ukuleles of the same model will never sound exactly the same, especially at this level of perfection. A good reason to come visit us :) Also, the sound is extraordinary, rich, deep, and bright. We are thrilled, and you will be too. You also benefit from the “better than the weather” warranty, which allows you to have your ukulele repaired if necessary, with no time limit.
