Attention has been paid to every detail, resulting in exceptional playability, accuracy, and finish. This model delivers a beautiful sound with depth and sustain.

This model is a heritage of the high end ukuleles of the last century! To complete the vintage look, the MUS2 is equipped with traditional Gotoh friction tuners of the highest quality made in Japan.

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.

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.

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.
