KoAloha Ukuleles
The KoAloha features solid koa wood construction and particular
attention to ergonomic design for playing comfort. Expect to hear a
strong voice with ample cutting power from these pro ukuleles.
Members of the Okami family manufacture them with pride in the
Kalihi district of Honolulu, on the island of Oahu.
Roy Sakuma, the 50th State's foremost
ukulele instructor, commissions and consulted extensively in the
development of these fine made-in-Hawaii instruments. His record
label, Roy Sakuma Productions, showcases premier uke artists such as
Troy Fernandez of Ka'u Crater Boys and Palolo, Ohta-San and Lyle
Ritz. Roy relates that legendary jazz guitarist, Charlie Byrd raves
about his personal KoAloha ukulele.
Roy Sakuma wanted to combine the
best elements of the various full-size ukuleles he'd played over the
years while at the same time going beyond the instrument's familiar
sound.
Among
the elements Sakuma and Okami have designed into the KoAloha are clarity
of tone and acoustic volume, ease of playing and quality of appearance
and detail. "It's very clean when you hit the strings," explains Sakuma.
"There's a very balanced sound, so you don't hear one string dominating
everything else."
The KoAloha Ukulele is
hand-crafted of native Hawaiian koa wood. Okami's tremendous
technical skills together with Sakuma's 35 years of experience with
the ukulele inspire their quest for excellence.
