By Marci Glover


Musicians in all musical genres aim to select instruments that allow them to deliver a good performance at all times. However, it can sometimes be hard to find tools that do this and are also durable. A KoAloha concert ukulele meets all of these requirements plus many more and this is part of the reason why some many players like this brand.

Artistes sometimes hear about this brand while they are growing up hearing because it is popular among professionals and amateurs. Many of them have a desire to play these ukes themselves because of the positive experiences which are shared by others. The brand has grown year after year because of the positive feedback that customers share all across the world. Especially in the United States.

The positive reviews that the instruments have received are not without reason. Every item that is produced in their workshop has a full range from pianissimo to triple forte. This gives players more flexibility and makes it possible for them to easily express themselves with each piece that they play.

Concert Koa ukes come in several styles and each musician has lots of choices. All of them are made in Hawaii to exacting standards. The workmen pay a lot of attention to detail and craftsmanship at every stage of the manufacturing process. People who visit the workshop themselves are able to join a tour and even try the instruments.

The Koa factory provides their tour for free. This is one of many ways in which the team reaches out to their community and they are known for treating visiting customers like family. The craftsmen are all very talented and are led by their innovative founder, Alvin Okami. Apart from being an industrial designer, composer and inventor he also enjoys singing and plays the oboe.

This business is run by family and they make every effort to help build community. They pay attention to the needs of their customers and you can directly contact and speak to Mr. Okami if you have a problem. They aim to pass on the traditions of ukulele building and recently held a class in the craft for children who were affected by the tsunami in Japan.

Oahu island offers visitors many interesting opportunities to learn more about music at this factory, which is regarded as one of the best worldwide. The ukes are all made in different styles and while they are affordable, the craftsmen do not scrimp on quality. Many players enjoy using the bright, deep five point Tenor Scepter and other popular models such as the Pineapple Sunday.

Papa Koaloha has a personal philosophy when it comes to building ukes and vigorously strums the instruments when he is testing them. He wants all of them to have a full dynamic range. He never wants an instrument to limit a player and aims for all of his pieces to give musicians the freedom to play at higher volumes without losing the quality of the sound. This has helped to make the instruments highly sought after.
