Unveiling the Romero Creations ʻEKOLU TINY TENOR: A Melodic Ode to Global Harmony

In honor of its 10th anniversary, we proudly introduce the Romero Creations ʻEKOLU TINY TENOR—an enchanting tribute to the rich tapestry of global music. Echoing the Hawaiian word for "three," "Ekolu," this limited edition masterpiece pays homage to the harmonies resonating from instruments like the Sanshin of Okinawa and the balalaika of Russia. Crafted through the collaborative genius of Pepe Romero and Daniel Ho, this instrument embodies the essence of musical heritage from around the world.

Designed with both innovation and portability in mind, the ʻEkolu Tiny Tenor inherits the celebrated legacy of its predecessor—the Tiny Tenor—where a tenor scale instrument is ingeniously condensed to concert size without compromising its robust sound. At UKE Republic, we ensure unparalleled performance with our Pro Setup, guaranteeing optimal sound and playability for every musician.

Inspired by Daniel Ho's musical journey in Inner Mongolia, where the mesmerizing sound of the doshpuluur left an unforgettable impression, this three-string marvel embodies effortless playability and boundless creativity. Tuned to C, E, A—the highest pitches on an ʻukulele—it beckons seamless jam sessions and endless musical exploration.

Crafted with meticulous precision, the 17” tenor length scale and 14 frets to the body ensure effortless access to every note. Featuring high-quality 16:1 tuners and an all-solid Phoenix wood construction, embellished with an ebony fingerboard and bridge, this instrument promises unmatched resonance and durability.

Exuding an aura of sophistication, the Limited Edition 10th Anniversary mother-of-pearl logo and Daniel Ho's signature grace the 12th fret—a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship. Accompanied by a Romero Creations soft shell case meticulously crafted by Access, this eco-friendly marvel provides both protection and style—an ideal companion for your musical expeditions.

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.

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
