I have an Ailani solid Koa soprano. Ailani is long since out of business. Very straight grain Koa but an all Koa build. Comes in at 284 grams and it one of the loudest and best sounding Sopranos I own.
I purchased an Aklot Tenot and did the identical mods that Kohanmike did. I found it a bit bright with Fremont Blacklines (one of my favorite strings) I put a set of Kamaka black nylons on it..... ended up with a wonderful sound , not too bright and not too warm.
Absolutely delighted.
I have one of the Enya X1 pineapples. Put a set of UkeLogic High Tension Clears on it. So sweet sounding for a "formica" ukulele.
Couldn't get along with the tuners, put a set black Gotoh tuners with tulip shaped buttons on it..... Sublime.
I was the fortunate purchaser. And it was everything eyedoc said it was, I was eyeballing them and couldn't resist.
I am beyond thrilled with the instrument and want to make a reference that a purchase from Ron is the kind of purchase you want on this forum. Packaged extremely well and exactly...
