Ohana TK-35G tenor ukulele

Allmänt

The Ohana TK-35G comes with the same luxurious build specifications as the TK-35 but has been coated in a deep-gloss. So, the sound of this tenor ukulele is still shaped by a body made entirely of solid mahogany that's been fitted with a rosewood fretboard and bridge, as well as a bone saddle and nut. The solid wood ensures tonal transparency and excellent vibrational transfer from the strings, while a set of Deluxe Geared machine heads take care of stable, pure tuning. Other, more aesthetic, finishing touches include the rosewood binding that surrounds the soundboard and base, and the matching rosewood overlay of the headstock.

The Origins of the Ukulele

In 1879, Portuguese immigrants introduced Hawaii to the original incarnation of the ukulele. While the instrument has since become a national symbol for Hawaii, its popularity in other countries boomed between the first and second World Wars, especially in the USA. The ukulele is an icon of the Jazz Age of the 1920s, when chord books and tablature of the popular songs of the time were published, opening the ukulele up to amateur musicians as well as professionals. Although Rock'n'Roll came and replaced the ukulele with the electric guitar, this incredibly manageable, portable, and relatively inexpensive instrument made a massive comeback in the '90s and has stuck around ever since.
