The Concert sized Nunes style ukulele now joins the little brother the Soprano SK-28. And it is a  Seriously Good Quality Concert Ukulele because it's an Ohana Ukulele.


"I play lots of different ukuleles every week,

and doing Ukulele Setups everyday. 
the Ohana CK-28 is becoming a favourite of mine, 
they are so damn sweet sounding, and they play great." CHEERS CC

ABOUT 
The 'Figure 8' or 'Peanut' body shape is a true classic, it is the closest relative of the  
Portuguese instruments brought to the Hawaiian islands.  

Dias and Manuel Nunes the earliest ukulele makers and crafted ukuleles for more than 40 years 
and are legend amongst ukulele  enthusiasts.

History tells that Samuel Kamaka and Nunes own son, Leonardo, 
were apprentices and continued making quality ukuleles. 

In 1998, the Ukulele Hall of Fame inducted Manuel Nunes  into their honorees.  

WELL DONE CREATING THIS UKULELE
Louis Wu of Ohana Music has come up with a fantastic homage to the 'original' ukulele, 
made in the traditional Portuguese / Hawaiian style.

SUMMARY
If you are serious about your ukulele playing and uke collecting then a 'Peanut' body style Concert is a must have for you. 

The fretboard is completely flush with the body, another vintage style feature - this leaves more of the top to vibrate, helping to shape the tone of the instrument.

This Concert has such a pleasing warm tone and easy playability that you soon realise that the old master Luthiers really were onto something good!

$425 with 
FREE Hard-case, 
FREE Tuner, FREE Set-up (High or Low G String).
FREE Postage in Australia.

In a world overflowing with 'ME TOO' Cookie Cutter ukuleles
the Ohana  SK-28 is a breath of fresh air... the tone, the feel, the look, really are a world away from generic mass produced blandness.


The Rope binding looks fantastic.  Rope binding is difficult to do and it adds to build time and expense but its worth it.

And the Centre Rope binding "Racing Stripe" is set into the length of the neck, the Ohana Logo moves to the back of the headstock, Visual Beauty trumps self promotion.

Since it Launched overseas the SK-28 has been a hot seller for Ohana.  Now available in Australia, keeping up with demand has been the hard part.



Q.  SETUP: DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

A.  "We never JUST pick a box off the shelf and send it.
Every ukulele is checked for quality of finish, Tuned, Play Tested and Setup for best playability. 

YES Setup ... It Makes ALL the Difference."
Cheers CC
