Please note that all used ukuleles are only for sale to UK based customers. 

2021 was a bit of a transitional year for many of us... the best laid plans were put on hold for many people in 2020 including KoAloha's Silver Anniversary. Having to down tools during a landmark year was the perfect excuse to go back to the drawing board and redesign the companies staple instruments.

The 25 series anniversary ukulele models heralded a more streamlined appearance, a more refined gloss finish, a move for the neck join down to the 14th fret, and a more rounded bottom bout. What does this all mean? Well, all of these changes have made for a more exciting and refined sounding ukulele. KoAloha were to us here at SUS the cheeky sibling of the Hawaiian K brands with an untamed and huge, wide open sound.

These new designs have given the wilder frequencies a bit of a haircut and the overall appearance of modern KoAlohas and the sound is sleeker and smoother. These new appointments and the quality of the wood make for an instrument at 'standard' Hawaiian prices that more closely resemble the popular factory/custom Red Label Ukuleles that we adore. 

For years we have said that the KoAloha's had sustain, tone and looks to die for... and we rightfully called them one of the best tenors available.

The KoAloha KTM-00 has all the brightness you expect from koa, bags of volume and sustain owing to the fabulous proprietary unit brace system that the clever people at KoAloha use. It feels very light in the hand, and very balanced. What you notice most when you play is the clarity of its voice. It has great note separation and a huge expressive range, and yoy can play it all the way up the neck with no diminishing of presence in the sound.

As with all KoAloha ukuleles, no grain filler is used before the finish is applied. This helps the instrument to sound so open and natural, but means that features and grain in the wood can show through, causing small anomalies and flaws in the finish.

Pictures show actual instrument you will receive. This one is in 8/10 condition, with some marks near the bridge by the G and A strings, consistent with restringing (see pics) and various other small cosmetic marks dotted around.
