I have 3 that were sort of a prototype, they are TK-80D's which are sinker redwood and myrtle. The more current production TK-80's are myrtle & Port Orford Cedar. I have one of them as well, but I dearly love the sinker redwood. When I was researching brands I chose Ohana because I feel they have the best balance of price, build quality and service. They choose to be light and resonant where some of the bigger companies tend to over build them to reduce issues and returns. I'll take killer tone any day.

I asked the folks at Ohana for ebony replacement parts and found they were very helpful.<br /><br />I do own some of the better Sopranos reviewed here (Wunderkammer, Timms, recent Martin) and some vintage Sopranos (Martins and Gibsons). <br />My SK38 can compete with all of them easily and puts my recent Martin to shame. It's my go-to uke when I travel, just because of it being inexpensively replaceable.

The SK-38, CK-38, TK-38 and SK-21M (sopranino version). The SK-28 and the CK-28. The SK-80RW, CK-80RW and TK-80RW. They are all very popular and in high-demand, so stores may not always have them available. Added to the the 80 seies instruments are special editions and can be even more difficult to get. Ohana works through the biggest stores in the world though, so these instruments are often available somewhere.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00915930264917547227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-81134347312611636462013-12-08T18:59:16.292+00:002013-12-08T18:59:16.292+00:00I believe most of them are!I believe most of them are!Barry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-43968971490109575202013-12-08T17:51:23.882+00:002013-12-08T17:51:23.882+00:00Very interesting to read about the process, thanks...Very interesting to read about the process, thanks for sharing the experience.
