Introduction to the Ohana Pequeño Sopranino
The Ohana Pequeño Sopranino Ukulele is a tiny yet remarkable instrument for those who appreciate vintage charm. Despite its small size, this ukulele delivers a warm sound thanks to its solid mahogany build. Let’s explore its unique details.
Compact and Crafted with Care
Measuring only 19 inches in total length, the Pequeño Sopranino surprises many players. Its 12-inch scale length and 1-3/8 inch nut width make it feel like a miniature treasure. However, don’t let its size fool you—it’s finely crafted.
Vintage Look and Heritage Design
Interestingly, its design pays homage to Manuel Nunes, one of the original Portuguese craftsmen who brought the ukulele to Hawaii. With rope-style binding and purfling around the soundhole, it echoes a classic style that jazz players, like Christopher Davis Shannon, truly enjoy.
Solid Mahogany and Warm Tones
Another notable feature is the solid mahogany top, back, and sides, all finished in a vintage satin coat. This choice of wood, paired with Aquila Nylgut strings, produces surprisingly rich tones. Whether strumming open or closed chords, the warmth is clear.
Thoughtful Details and Recommendations
This ukulele includes Gotoh friction tuners for stability. If the tuners slip, a quick screwdriver adjustment fixes it. Although it doesn’t come with a case, pairing it with the Ohana UCH-19 hardshell case is highly recommended for extra protection.
