Need more than 4 strings on your uke...no problem. The original Ohana multi-string! Can’t decide on low-G or high-G tuning for your instrument? Ohana felt the same, and so they married the two in a 5-string build of all-solid mahogany, finished in beautiful high gloss. By simply adding one extra string, a whole new range of possibilities was brought to life with the octave pairing. The Ohana 5-string is tuned Gg-C-E-A, with an added low-g.

Description

Mahogany is described by most builders as having a warm, dark and defined tone with a ‘woody’ sound. Good midrange tones with plenty of punch and excellent balance are part and parcel of instruments built of this species. The smaller body and scale length of a ukulele provide an inherently lighter and brighter sound— it can be hard to get dramatic, moodier dark tones out of these resolutely happy instruments. As mahogany instruments mature they open up and allow for more colorful overtone-rich sound, aging like a fine wine and developing more character as they are played.

It is one of the only wood types appropriate for making every part of the uke. Bracing, soundboards, necks— marvelous mahogany can do it all! Part of mahogany’s magic lies in the grain. Dense mahogany has less space in its grain than cedar or spruce lending a clarity to its sound. Quality material— with straight graining can be used for a neck that will last generations. It bends without breaking for side treatments and bracings. Mahogany is suitable for inlays and binding, body and neck - one of the easiest woods to work with in building.
