There’s Uke Magic in Singapore

Uke Boss — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:49:37 +0000

The folks at Ukulele Movement in Singapore have helped start a wave on interest for the beloved four string. One of the folks they caught is Ning Cai, aka Magic Babe Ning. She is an acclaimed magician that has graced the cover of FHM Asia and more. Along with BFF, Pam Ho, they just started a nine month trek across the globe as they compile their adventures in Adventures of 2 Girls which will be published by Marshall Cavendish.
For more about their kickoff in Hawaii, log on to my Star Advertiser blog, Ka Leo O Kalihi. Safe travels girls and welcome to the KoAloha ohana.

New Bridge Design

Aloha KoAloha fans!
Check out our new bridge design! It is still made of solid Hawaiian koa and our name is now laser engraved on it. The new bridge is also designed for lace tying rather than using knots. They will only be available on our soprano and concert scale models.





New Soprano Tenor Neck

We have added a new model, the Soprano Tenor Neck.  It is has a Soprano body with a Tenor ukulele neck.  The result is a punchy sound in a compact body.  Also, the Tenor neck adds some nice weight to the ukulele, making it stable and balanced.  These are very limited so contact your dealer today!

This is the Original KoAloha Ukulele – The Mini-Uke.  It is the ukulele that started it all.  Papa KoAloha’s inspiration that would become the basis for all that is KoAloha Ukulele today.
We were very fortunate to have a chance to take pictures of this very rare piece of history.  The second Mini-Uke made, it was given to Papa KoAloha’s brother.  This past November, it was then given to Herb Ohta Senior for his birthday.
It is fully functional, and can be played like a regular ukulele.  We will have video soon of Papa KoAloha himself playing the Mini-Uke.  In the meantime enjoy the pictures of KoAloha’s history.
