KoAloha Opio KTO-10 All Solid Acacia Tenor Ukulele Satin finish w/bag no.1
We're big fans of the KoAloha opio tenor ukulele, and have to say that they've been very clever here. KoAloha have taken their designs for soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles, and had them made in acacia in a very, very good factory in Thailand. The result? Astonishing value for money!
Most of the design features, the DNA if you will, that make KoAloha what they are are found here: the 5 pointed crown headstock, the slinky feeling neck, the Musubi soundhole shape, the clever internal unit-bracing, the attention to detail, and the sheer flamboyance of the sound. In fact, the sound is very, very similar to the koa models that KoAloha are so famous for. The build quality is just as tight, and feel in the hand just as good.
This is a really serious alternative to brands such as Pono in the mid price point. If you want an instrument overflowing with real capability and bags of charisma, then look no further. I can't bring to mind a tenor ukulele that feels and sounds this good as this price point. It really does punch way above its weight!
