Famous FS-5 Soprano

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).

APC Soprano Azulejo HP NAT hand painted  PARTICULAR SIGNS  Soprano Solid acacia top  Solid acacia back & sides   Mahogany neck  Scale length : 342mm  Aquila Nylgut® strings  16 frets  Open pore finish  Nut width : 35mm   Bone nut & saddle  Hand engraving and painting   Made in Portugal CASA OPINION The Azulejo collection is a range of instruments with patterns and colours inspired by Portuguese art. 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.

(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. These ukuleles are made in Java, Indonesia, and benefit from the expertise of the Ko'olau/Pono workshops, true pioneers of the ukulele in Hawaii. We've had the pleasure of talking to these enthusiasts and are delighted to offer you their instruments in our shop.

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.
