This is a pineapple body-shape Ohana PKT-25G tenor ukulele, with an all solid mahogany body and gloss finish. The mahogany is a rich, deep brown, with some nice grain showing. Despite mahogany not being the most visually striking wood, everything is smart, neat and tidy, and only a simple soundhole rosette distracts from its graceful curves. Oh, and that pineapple shaped headstock too!

Aquila strings are fitted, which contribute to an interesting sound. Lots of things are going on, with a richness from the solid mahogany top, and good volume from the larger vibrating surface of the oval top - compared to a regular-shaped uke. The Aquila strings give it quite a perky, well-projecting response from the trebles, while the gloss finish keeps the overall tone a touch brighter than you might expect from a larger bodied, all-solid mahogany instrument. The Ohana PKT-25G doesn’t lack in the warmth stakes, but the sounding isn’t muddy either. It’s a nice balance.

Another thing was how versatile it feels, responding well to a hard strum with the nail (chiming and full), or delicate thumb-strokes (warm and smooth).

This instrument has a 36mm nut and plays really nicely, and good quality, smooth-turning geared tuners are included.
