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 addictive instrument to play.

This model is the same as the FS-1 but with geared action.

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.

Initially intended for the Portuguese cavaquinho, APC responded favourably to the request of La Casa de Ukulele™ to decline these designs, on concert and soprano ukuleles. This is a vivid and beautifully imperfect handmade paint and engraving job, which has nothing to do with a sanitized and standardized industrial decoration. The solid acacia wood delivers a harmonious sound, with beautiful, full and true notes all along the neck. Made by APC in Portugal.

The solid mango wood used has a different appearance to that of the standard version, with an exotic look and variations in the wood grain that are reminiscent of a multitude of tiny caterpillars criss-crossing each other, which is very pleasing to admire.

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. This makes them a versatile instrument, rooted in tradition yet resolutely modern.

The specifications remain the same; only the item numbers have changed. This ukulele is a beautiful tribute to vintage Martin ukuleles! The wood grain of the Fidji mahogany is splendid, the whiskers on the bottom of the body and the double purfling on the fingerboard contribute to the natural elegance of this model. In rhythmic and nervous playing the chords will keep their clarity and in fingerpicking each note will sound like crystal. This is an instrument that approaches perfection, and one that you want to keep for a long time.

Beneath its apparent simplicity lies an instrument with impressive volume, carried by generous, enveloping sustain. Every note produced by this little soprano is expressive, deep, and full-bodied.  An authentic ukulele, without artifice, with character and a pure sound. 
KoAloha KSM-00 Soprano
€1,099.00
(tax incl.)
Koaloha KSM-00 Solid Hawaiian Koa Soprano Ukulele (The Ukulele photographed is the one you will receive) PARTICULAR SIGNS   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 not  included   Made in Hawaii  CASA OPINION Experts rank these ukuleles among the best in the world, and we have never had so much fun playing a solid koa ukulele. Koaloha ukuleles began production in 1995, handmade one by one in Honolulu, and although they have undergone improvements over time, they still sound the same: rich in harmony, warmth, and brightness. Perfectly balanced, these instruments are suitable for all types of music. From fingerpicking to strumming, from classical to jazz, the Hawaiian Koa series vibrates and resonates beautifully.  It feels very comfortable in your hands, the instrument is light, the playability is obvious, you are playing a very high-end ukulele. The whole thing gives an impression of absolute classicism, with a magnificent 5-point crown-shaped headstock and a sublime rosette delightfully named “Musubi” (after a sushi-shaped snack that is very popular in Hawaii).
