What Ever You Do, Please Play The Taro Patch!


UKE Republic was the first to premier the Ohana CK-35-8 Solid Mahogany Taro Patch Concert Ukulele at the Tampa Bay Ukulele Getaway 2016. It was met with much applause and interest. Daniel Ward takes it out for a spin (below).


Ohana Taro Patch Eight String Concert CK-35-8

Its here! First to Uke Republic, Ohana brings us another classic- Taropatch! These haven't seen production for some time.

Made popular in the early part of the 20th century, this eight string concert is tuned in unison C, so gg CC EE AA. Scale is concert.

The tone is ethereal with its chorus like tones driven by an all solid mahogany body. Gorgeous notes pour out with either finger style or strumming.

We love the featured slot head with classical styled geared machines. The satin finish is smooth and compliments this rich toned solid mahogany instrument.

Ukulele Sizes

Ukuleles Sizes When you mention ukuleles, most people think of the small standard soprano size. That's understandable since the Tin Pan Alley scene popularized the size during the first ukulele wave during the 1920s and 1930s. Soon though, the larger sizes came on the scene when Arthur Godfrey, an American TV personality, preferred the larger size of a baritone.  Surprisingly, 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. Soprano ukuleles are the smallest and most traditional size. They have a compact body and short scale length, which gives them a bright, punchy sound. Soprano ukuleles are also the lightest and easiest to carry, making them a popular choice for beginners and players on the go. Concert ukuleles are slightly larger than sopranos, with a longer scale length and a wider body, giving them a warmer and louder sound than sopranos. Concerts are also a good cho

UKE Republic's PRO UKULELE SETUP IS ALWAYS INCLUDED The ukulele brands that we carry will apply their quality control standard during the building process. Allowances are made for adjustment and improvement beyond that initial quality control and final factory setup. It's always possible that the factory could overlook issues in their last inspections. Also, instruments endure environmental changes while being imported and stored from great distances, significantly affecting the instruments' playability.   ​By keeping our pulse on the ukulele community and our years of experience setting up different brands of ukuleles, we have honed our standards to meet our customer's preferences and stay within the instrument's full playing potential. Our experienced setup technicians thoroughly inspect each ukulele to address areas that call for attention and make any needed adjustments.
