    KoAloha Tenor Tuner Change?

    Thanks! That’s helpful. I think I’m going to take one of the tuners off this week to get a better ideas of where the holes are and how much they would be covered by various tuners. My Takumi has UPTs so I could verify the measurements get a pretty good idea of how much of the holes would be...

    KoAloha Tenor Tuner Change?

    Thanks! Yes, my 2017 pikake. I have not had the tuner off yet. Honestly, just picked it up this morning after not playing it for a while and got to thinking about this. I was wondering where the holes would be. How do you like the hipshots? Are they lighter and did they make the instrument feel...

    KoAloha Tenor Tuner Change?

    Hey folks. Just wondering if anyone here has ever changed out the stock closed-back geared tuners that come on KoAloha tenors. I love my KTM, but find it to be just a little neck heavy (need to support neck when playing seated) and also just prefer the look of back facing tuners. To be clear...

    What is your most expensive hobby?

    I play a few different instruments so I would say that my current most expensive hobby is “musical instrument enthusiast”. Woodworking was the most expensive hobby I ever had. Even once you’ve invested a in crap load of tools you still need to spend hundreds of dollar on lumber when you want to...

    High G on a Tenor

    Even though currently I only have one tenor and it is strung low g, step down reentrant is probably my favorite ukulele tuning. It gives you the chord voicings of reentrant but obviously with more low end. You get the added depth but it still sounds like a uke and not small guitar. To my ear and...

    Hilo by Bruko

    The older Brukos sounded pretty different from the current ones. Several years ago, very early in my playing, I briefly owned a 1980s Bruko 6. It much was mellower in tone then the current Brukos. I should’ve kept it but sold it. Still have this video I took though.

    MagicFluke Flea vs other polycarbonates

    I leave my laminate top, wood fretboard w/ pegheds flea out in my living room. The kids play with it, it gets knocked over, and one time my two-year-old stood on it with his full weight (though I did take him off very quickly). You are correct that I wouldn’t treat it as a total beater, but my...

    Strings Wound C conundrum

    I really like the CF27 paired with the CF30. I’m not sure if I would like only one or the other but together they pair really nicely. I have them on my KoAloha KTM tuned linear a full step down to FBbDG and they sound great. In general, I don’t love a low G as the only wound string but I do...
