Starting with its popular CK-14 model, which Ohana feels has the right look and price for a beginner’s instrument, they refined the design to suit the tastes and wishes of Cynthia Lin, a popular YouTube ukulele teacher, recording artist, and performer.
The CL’s special features include being spec’d out with Worth Brown fluorocarbon strings, upgraded tuners, side position markers, a new hibiscus fretboard inlay (also seen on another of our test ukes), and Cynthia’s signature on the headstock.
Though made with a laminated body, the CK-14CL had a tone that was more dynamic and complex than the flat, kind-of-boxy sounds I normally expect from similar instruments. Its snappy, lively tone made it a uke that I wanted to keep playing.
The satin finish on the neck and body are very comfortable and the factory setup was what you could hope for, even in a uke costing twice as much.
The combination of quality, tone, and price makes the CK-14CL Cynthia Lin an exceptional value. It would be the perfect gift for a budding ukulele player, who will find it an inviting instrument to stick with for years, or the experienced player who wants a great-playing and solid-sounding ukulele for travel or knocking around.

The Cynthia Lin Signature Series by Ohana features quality ukulele models with features chosen by the artist. A floral inlay at the 12th fret echoes the plumeria often worn in Cynthia’s hair.
Worth Brown strings give the instrument a lighter touch, while the artist’s signature crowns the headstock. This series includes an appropriate bag or case for the model and swag from Ohana and Cynthia!
