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.

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.

(We...it's the sound!), so simple and uncluttered are the construction and design that focus on the essentials: a rich, deep and balanced sound. Mahogany has been used to make ukuleles for over a century. It offers warm, mellow tones, and may not be suitable when you want a bright, sharp sound, but so beautiful in "jazzy" tones.
