OHANA SK-35G - Ukulele Review

The Ohana 35 series instruments are absolutely beautiful and have a wonderful rich tone. The SK-35G is a real favourite of mine. I personally like the gloss version (35G) though the non-gloss version (35) is just as popular.

This is, in fact, one of the best selling all-solid instruments around and is extremely reasonably priced. Although I now work for Ohana, please be aware that I purchased the tenor version of this instrument (and owned 3 others) before I ever worked for the company.

Please check the main Ohana website for more details.

I must admit that Ohana ukuleles are one of the few production ukuleles that has never disappointed me...they always play well, improve in sound over time, come already set up and play spot on..... in short, I don't think you can go wrong with buying Ohana. I have a few better ukuleles that are rare and expensive....but the Ohans SK25 is the one I carry around and USE every day to practice and experiment with. the SK-21 sopranino that I own is also fun to play. For the price, no better value.

@kd5txo Excellent to hear. It is exactly why I now work for the company.

Hi there Ken. I'm a novice ukelele player, though I play acoustic guitar. I'd like to ask you a question if that's ok. I am thinking of buying an Ohana sk 35 g, but am also slightly taken with the sk 25z zebrawood, as it looks so unusual. I would like to know your opinion about the difference in sound quality between them, because of the wood type and build quality..

Thanks very much for your reviews, I have found them really informative and thorough.

@MrShornus The 35G is probably the best selling all-solid soprano you can buy. the sound is rich, mellow and loud. The 25Z has stunning looks but the sound is less traditional. It is very hard to describe them in words.

After seeing Kens review I decided to buy one of these Ukuleles... I decided however to get the matt version rather than the gloss. I think this makes the Ukulele look much more traditional and expensive (my opinion) . Ive never played a musical instrument in my life, i'm 44, apart from the triangle at prinary school. Six weeks on and i'm still totally useless at playing the Ukie, but I'm having so much fun with it and its one of my best buys ever... ..Cheers Ken for your outstanding review.

@thdrjsdnBRB Already answered this. Check out my other reply. If you want all-solid, you should go for the Ohana SK-25. You won't get it for $90 though. My advice is to save a little more and go for all-solid. Other people may tell you different though.

[MrShornus]

@KenMiddletonUkulele Thanks for that Ken.

I guess the best idea would be for me to compare the two by playing them... I doubt finding a place that has both models in stock is really an option. With that in mind, I now know which one makes sense... very exciting!

Thanks for watching.
