A really lovely uke this, an Ohana CK-50MG, with a gloss finish, solid cedar top and laminate flamed mahogany back and sides. It is great to hold, feeling light and super-comfortable, with a great low action too.

The solid cedar top has a very tight grain, and is adorned with some nice rope-style binding and soundhole decoration. The back and sides are really attractive, with a shiny golden colour and beautiful flaming (natural pattern in the wood). The headstock has a dark hardwood cap on it, which highlights the Ohana logo in a classy way. Aquila strings are fitted, as well as durable geared tuners.

This little Ohana CK-50MG packs a mighty sound, making you wonder where all the noise comes from. The sound is direct, bright and clear, delivering tight, punchy chords, or singing, sustain-rich melodies.
