Ohana TK-35G Tenor Ukulele - Review by Ken Middleton

My comments about the action being too high refer to this particular instrument only and not to every TK-35G. I try to be honest in my reviews and this instrument now plays perfectly.

Hello again Ken,

I would have a small question for you. I live in Montreal, Canada, where the weather may be somewhat similar to yours. How well has your Ohana Tenor survived cold dry winters and humid summers? and do you keep it out of it's case most of the time or do you keep it closed up in it's case with a small "sponge type humidifier". Has the wood cracked at all? Thanks! Mario

@1viva We don't have cold dry winters or humid summers. I leave all my ukes lying around and I have never used a humidifier. My ukes have never cracked. I don't know about Montreal.

Action high on YOUR Tenor... I am dissapointed. Thinking of getting one. Ohana assures us on their home web page that each and every instrument of theirs, regardless of the price, are individually inspected before they are shipped out so that when one receives it, everything should be in order. (I guess that's providing it has not suffered extreme changes in temperature, a real killer for wooden instruments.)

@1viva This instrument was bought from Europe and came directly from China. Now, every instrument go to the Ohana facility in California and is individually inspected. In any case, it only took 10 minutes to adjust and is now my best all-round ukulele. I use far more than my Kanile'as or my luthier-made ukes. My advice is to order one. Everone wants them, so you are unlikely to get one before December.

Thanks Antonia.

@KenMiddletonUkulele Thank you Ken. I guess I've got my GB weather all screwed up, sorry.

I've got my dealer on to ordering one for me asap! Can't wait. I LOVE a quality instrument. In fact I must say I sometimes derive more pleasure from actually looking and admiring an instrument more than playing it (But I do love playing, don't get me wrong ;-)

Thanks for the info & all the best. Mario

KenMiddleton Encouraging notes on this Tenor. You should get a comission for this ;-)

Thanks for taking the time to reply with such reassuring comments. It's good to know that all instruments are now shipped back TO Ohana, CA for their final inspection. Anyway, I am more confident. Sure would make a nice Christmas present (for me ;-) I'll put it on my Santa wish list! ;-)Thanks Ken! Mario
