Hilo Guitars 6 string and 8 string ukulele

[coolakiIlen007]

ive got a pink Mahalo 4 string! ;) great and really cool instrument, i love it!

[likopuha]

Mahalo nui e Brian! To hear that 6 string ʻukulele--wow!

[numanuma20]

Can I buy online?

[mc85eu]

0:24 - 0:27: Over the Rainbow, anyone?

[KsECD]

@mc85eu what you talkin about?

[mc85eu]

@KsECD The "Some... Where" bit of Over The Rainbow goes up an octave (think it's G to G). When Brian (presenter) played the notes from 0:24 to 0:27, it sounded like the start of the song - to me, anyway.

I hope that clarifies my cryptic comment for you...

[KsECD]

@mc85eu Ah yeh, I kinda get what you mean. However, it is a C to a C in the song... :D

[mc85eu]

@KsECD I "C". :-)

[KsECD]

@mc85eu so Cheesy :D

[mc85eu]

@KsECD Si. (Sorry.)

[PresidentFish1]

So I'm guessing that an 8 string is more for chords, as opposed to individual notes?

[IsaacTheGuitarist]

Whoa, that first ukulele has really great tone

[rollerblaker]

did those have steel strings?

[hiloguitars]

@rollerblaker One string is nylon wound with steel.

[superdarkhypersonic1]

do you sell a double neck ukulele one with a 4 string and 8 string?

[hiloguitars]

@superdarkhypersonic1 No I am sorry we do not.

[raybaboon]

@0hurley THanks!

[raybaboon]

Nice vid guyz~ I was a wondering do, i seen some ukulele players play these big ukulele's the size of a guitar and it had six individual strings. What type of ukulele is that??

[MaximoMachismo]

@raybaboon The bigger ones are baritone ukuleles.

[molokinirum]

Nice comparison. I am looking into getting a 6 string, but now I really like the 8 string sound. Oh what to do?????

Mahalo!!!!

[ohsochill94]

on the kanilea website it says that an 8 string model would go for 880...

[hiloguitars]

@ohsochill94

You are looking at the K1 with a Satin finish and you did not add the $150 for an eight string.

[hiloguitars]

@hiloguitars

Buy one of each !!!

[ohsochill94]

hey, which Kanilea model are you using?

[hiloguitars]

That is a Kanilea K1 Tenor six string with UV finish and a Kanilea K1 eight string UV finish

[ohsochill94]

Alright thanks, how much does that go for?

[hiloguitars]

On Kanilea,s website the K1 Tenor UV finish is $970 plus an extra $140 for the 8 string

[123yaboii]

[SpecialUkulele]

do they make "low A's" only in a nylon string? I wouldn't want to put a wound string into an ukulele that costs upwards of 500 dollars.

[hiloguitars]

Aquila makes a set of strings for a six string Uke where all the strings are made of Nylgut,they sound great.

Putting a wound A will do no harm to your uke people do it all the time.The Kamaka comes from the factory as such

[SpecialUkulele]

I know that it doesn't do any harm to my ukulele, but to me, it seems ... just bad :) But that's cool that Kamaka come with them in already from the factory.

[hiloguitars]

As I said do not worry the wound string will not harm your Ukulele.Kamaka ,G string ,Lanikai and kala all use them !

[ukeforChrist]

normally they dont make low "A"s because the low "g" already serves as the base line for an uke. if you want, you can try put a guitar "g" string on an uke and tune it to an "A" but it wouldnt be as playable i guess. kanileas are well braced to handle any string tension but im not sure about other ukes

[sungtongs]

I used to take trumpet lessons from that guy in California!

[hiloguitars]

It is a Kala Tenor with a pick up installed in it ,great value for your money

[hiloguitars]

Do not have any used ones in stock.once people buy them they keep them.For further inquiries please call the store at
