Launched recently overseas the SK-28 is another homage to a vintage instrument, inspired by the instruments introduced to Hawaii by the likes of legendary luthiers Manuel Nunes and Augusto Dias.
The 'Figure 8' or 'Peanut' body shape is a true classic, it is the closest representation of the Portuguese instruments brought to the Hawaiian islands.
Dias and Manuel Nunes were the earliest ukulele makers and crafted ukuleles for more than 40 years and are legends amongst ukulele enthusiasts.
HISTORY
History tells that Samuel Kamaka and Nunes's own son, Leonardo, were apprentices and continued making quality ukuleles. In 1998, the Ukulele Hall of Fame inducted Manuel Nunes into their honorees.
'Louis Wu of Ohana Music has come up with a fantastic homage to the 'original' ukulele, made in the traditional style.'
If you are serious about your ukulele playing and uke collecting then a 'Peanut' body style soprano is a must-have for you.
This soprano has such a pleasing warm tone and easy playability that you soon realise that the old master Luthiers really were onto something good.
