Ohana TK43 Solid Burled Redwood/Indian Rosewood Tenor Ukulele no.2

At £500, it is hard to find such a highly specced uke, with such choice tonewoods and such beautiful binding and purfling. Sonically, Redwood has a tone much like Cedar and Cypress (or Port Orford Cedar) so you can expect a really strong response across the frequency range, and for a Low G to sound full without being too boomy. Equally suited to fingerpicking or strumming, this uke sound clean, clear, warm and strident when you really play with vigour.

This is one of the Ohana models made in much more limited numbers, and it has taken some time for this model to become available again, but boy is it worth the wait! Instrument grade Redwood seems to come around far less frequently than the other more familiar woods. So for something a little different on the eyes and the ears, this has to be considered very seriously.

Pictures show actual instrument. This Ukulele has been denoted A- by Ohana as it was displayed briefly at the 2023 NAMM show in April 2023. The discount reflects this although we cannot find signs of play.
