Ohana TK-35G-5 Five String Ukulele, How Did It Sound?

What did people think of the Ohana TK-35G-5 5 String uke I took to NUkes last night?

Was it louder, clearer, better than the Koa tenor I usually use for teaching?

I thought it sounded AMAZING, straight out of the box that afternoon, it played like a dream all night, just those strings needed tuning regularly while they stretched out.

Very loud and that low and High G string combo is fantastic, Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...

Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.

Launch of The Northern Ukuleles Nights at The Old Spot Hotel

What a great Ukulele Jam night we had at The Old Spot Hotel, Salisbury Heights, last night.  To use the Aussie vernacular "what a bloody ripper" of a night was had by all.

We covered a whole lotta Ukulele ground last night. and I'll post more in-depth information later on.
But to Summarize, this is what you missed.  

  • We covered the Most Popular Chords in songs,  
  • How to play Barre Chords on your Ukulele,  
  • Practice Tips, 
  • Timing and Rhythm Lesson from Education Through Inspiration 
  • We learnt and played a 12 Bar Blues and a Funk Progression 
  • And we learned and played those classic songs  by John Foggerty, Rockin All Over The World and Bad Moon Rising.
The next Northern Ukuleles Jam Night is on Tuesday 18th September 7pm - 9pm at The Old Spot Hotel Salisbury Heights.  Cheers CC.
