CASA OPINION

 Created in 1955, “Famous” is Kiwaya's oldest brand, and also the best-selling in Japan.

Until now, these models have been reserved for the Japanese market, but we've been receiving them in Europe under the Kiwaya name and the “eco series” designation.

In order to harmonise their offer, they have now decided to distribute the “eco series” in France and Europe under the name “Famous”.

Apart from the label, nothing changes - it's a Kiwaya made in Japan!

The instrument is made from laminated Hawaiian Koa, 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-5G but with friction action action, making it even lighter at just 333g!

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.

Its character stems from a wood selection that is as bold as it is unexpected: a solid mango top and back, paired with solid spruce sides. A unique combination that is characteristic of The Rebel and their bold design philosophy. Many luthiers believe that spruce reveals its full potential when used as a soundboard. However, they have used it for the sides, and the resulting sonic dimension is breathtaking—the sound is intensely rich and lively. The Lovelace thus reminds us of a simple yet essential idea: in lutherie, as elsewhere, rules are sometimes meant to be challenged.

Low-G soprano ukuleles are rare, and the XS is probably the best in this category. The Low-G adds wonderful depth to the sound, and the mahogany adds a surprisingly rich, perfectly balanced tone with great clarity. The thin, flat neck is incredibly easy to play, and despite its 35mm width at the nut, the strings are well spaced out, playing comfort is addictive, and intonation is remarkably good right up to the highest positions.  Exceptional workmanship and top-quality materials make this instrument excellent value for money.
