All NEW KoAloha Opio Ukulele Series for 2016

It was January 2016 at the winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show when I found out about the new KoAloha Opio. I was very excited to find out KoAloha was using solid acacia and were implementing a satin semi-gloss finish on these. Surely this would be a winner.

Well fast forward into spring 2016 and we received our first shipments of these new KoAloha Opios and I must say we are very impressed. The first look and play on these ukuleles said it all!

KoAloha Opio All Solid Acacia Concert Ukulele
  • The fit and finish are top notch. KoAloha is making these in Thailand but with trained luthiers building the KoAloha way with KoAloha's molds and jigs. The tonewood is solid acacia which looks and sounds very close to its Hawaiian koa relative but priced at a fraction of the cost.
The KoAloha Opio Series Features: Signature Musubi Soundhole, Signature Orange Etched Friction Tuners, Etched Headstock Logo, and Signature KoAloha Embossed Rosewood Bridge.
  • The sound is all KoAloha. Rich with plenty of projection we all love. The sustain lingers and lilts, like an ocean wave.
  • Playability is once again total KoAloha. Easy, lean, fast neck that's perfect for any style of player. Strum it, pick it and you'll feel how good these really are.
Currently, KoAloha offers these new Opios in soprano standard, concert, and tenor.

Ukulele Anatomy & Sizes

Ukuleles Anatomy & Sizes When you mention ukuleles, most people think of the small standard soprano size. That's understandable since the Tin Pan Alley scene popularized this size during the first ukulele wave in the 1920s and 1930s. However, ukuleles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics and sound. The four main ukulele sizes are soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Let's explore the anatomy of the ukulele and the different sizes available. Anatomy of a Ukulele  Body: The ukulele's central sound-producing part comprises the soundboard (top), back, and sides. Neck: The long, thin part of the ukulele that connects the headstock to the body. Headstock: The top part where the tuning pegs (tuners) are located. Tuners: Pegs used to adjust the tension of the strings, tuning them to the correct pitch. Nut: A small piece at the top of the fretboard that guides the strings and keeps them evenly spaced. Fretboard (Fingerboard): The surface on
