Me and 4 tenor ukuleles

Just for fun I threw together a quick video playing through Jake Shimabukuro's "Me and Shirley T" using 4 koa tenor ukuleles: William King, Kanile'a, Koa Works, and Kelii. I'm not sure if you can hear the differences in this video, perhaps you can skip around the parts I switched the ukes for a back to back comparison of their sounds. All four are very nice sounding tenors, each with its own flavor.

The King is strung with Worth BT strings while the other 3 are strung with Worth CT strings.

@mamapapao

Hey thanks. I found some tabs online and tried to learn to play stuff that I liked. Watching Youtube also helped me a lot with learning to play the ukulele. I don't really have any music background either. I'm basically just hacking away on the uke.

Very nice. Tough call, but I like the King the best. How about a side by side of something like the William King next to a Kala? I'm interested in the difference.

[gx9901doublex]

Hmm...that would be intersting to put a Kala up against a King on Youtube. I don't have a Kala tenor though, just a tenor necked Kala spruce top soprano. Maybe I could do a similar comparison with spruce tops.

Thanks for doing this. Now I know which uke to steal when I come by your house - all of them! 

Loving the King the most though.

I'll leave the Pineapple Sunday by the front door. Please don't take the King...

Dude nice collection of UKES, what the price on those kings and where can i order one from, i play BASS but want to get a uke just to mess with when i go to the beach or on vacation. Thanks for a good video.

you must have bareeee dollar :)

[jinfuuu]

which did you like the best?

[bcbluecheese]

i like the super tenor it haves a better sound i think but there all amazing

[MikeLXXXVIII]

I liked best the Kellii tenor, the first one you presented, to me it sounded sweeter/softer and more original

[ukeuku]

what are bt strings?

all i know is the projection and the sound quality from the intonation on the king is probably why its one of the best ukuleles i've ever heard.
