Details On The Koaloha Concert Ukulele

By Marci Glover


Musicians in every genre of music usually try to find instruments that give them quality sound during performances or at practice. They also endeavor to have instruments that are durable enough to be carried around with them from one venue to another without being destroyed. A KoAloha concert ukulele satisfies both of these requirements and is highly regarded by players because of that.

Artistes sometimes hear about this brand while they are growing up hearing because it is popular among professionals and amateurs. Many of them have a desire to play these ukes themselves because of the positive experiences which are shared by others. The brand has grown year after year because of the positive feedback that customers share all across the world. Especially in the United States.

The positive reviews which are given about the instruments are based on real satisfaction that is felt time and again in performances and practice. The ukes have an impressive dynamic range and can easily go from triple forte to pianissimo. This allows players to have more flexibility and express themselves freely with each song.

Concert Koa ukes come in several styles and each musician has lots of choices. All of them are made in Hawaii to exacting standards. The workmen pay a lot of attention to detail and craftsmanship at every stage of the manufacturing process. People who visit the workshop themselves are able to join a tour and even try the instruments.

The Koa factory provides their tour for free. This is one of many ways in which the team reaches out to their community and they are known for treating visiting customers like family. The craftsmen are all very talented and are led by their innovative founder, Alvin Okami. Apart from being an industrial designer, composer and inventor he also enjoys singing and plays the oboe.

This business is run by family and they make every effort to help build community. They pay attention to the needs of their customers and you can directly contact and speak to Mr. Okami if you have a problem. They aim to pass on the traditions of ukulele building and recently held a class in the craft for children who were affected by the tsunami in Japan.

Oahu island is home to what is often regarded as the best ukulele factory in the world. The craftsmen make affordable pieces in different styles. The five point Tenor Scepter model is one of the most well known types that they make. This is known for a sound that is bright, throaty and deep. They are also known for the Pineapple Sunday.

Papa Koaloha is guided by his personal philosophy of creating ukes that have a full range of sound. Instruments are vigorously tested to ensure that they can stand up to the expectations of players and still give musicians the freedom to play and express themselves at high volumes without losing quality. This dynamism helps to ensure that they will remain popular for many years.
