LOW G STRING OR HIGH G STRING... HAVE BOTH
Ahhh, every ukulele player's conundrum... High-G or Low-G!?
With Ohana's unique 5-String model, featuring both G's, all the guess work has been taken out!
Personally I think it sounds amazing ... Very loud and boy that Low and High G string combo is fantastic. Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...
Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.
WHY TWO G STRINGS?
Well having the G strings doubled up (similar to a 12 string guitar) with the High G and Low G an octave apart, adds a much fuller bodied rhythm tone. Having 2 g strings an Octave apart gives this Ohana Tenor Ukulele a beautiful lush and interesting sound but still a ukulele sound.
The Ohana TK-35G-5 has a big sound with a bit of jangle. It’s actually a very loud instrument. The other strings are normal single and so the cea strings do not sound different to the normal 4 string ukulele.
CONSTRUCTION
The uke is a tenor, and is made from solid mahogany, imparting a more full tone but still a bright attack to notes… very rock.
Being a Solid Wood ukulele it will sound even better as it opens up over the years. As the wood dries out it becomes stiffer and lighter and become even better at transferring string energy to the sound waves we hear.
The headstock on the 5 string is visibly longer than an ordinary ukulele's headstock to accommodate the extra 5th string tuning key.
This is a top of the line instrument with its beautiful gloss finish that makes it look as good as it sounds.
SETUP
Like with all Ohana instruments the workmanship is superb. Ohana ukuleles go through a detailed premium adjustment, ready to play.
