Saw this posted on UU and thought folks here would find it interesting as well. This is a new, relatively low-priced soprano made out of pine wood that's been developed by KoAloha.

| Wow! Checked out the website and it appears that Koaloha founder Alvin Okami has taken on "Uke S.A." as a distinct project. And significantly, instead of moving into even higher-priced custom ukes, Okami has designed, and is manufacturing in Hawaii (i.e., "Made in USA"), a very different ukulele with an amazingly attractive price point. Will be curious to see what sort of impact this makes on the market.

| A great idea. I'm curious to see, play and hear one.

The guy playing in the video could make a 2x4 and a rubber band sound good.
I question the long term durability of pine.
It does sound pretty though.
