Common questions

Is the KoAloha KTM-00D6 solid wood?
Yes. The KoAloha KTM-00D6 has an all-solid Hawaiian koa body (top, back and sides) with a CNC-cut sapele neck.
What is a guilele and how is the KoAloha KTM-00D6 tuned?
In Terry Carter's video, a guilele is like a normal ukulele with its four strings, G-C-E-A, plus two extra strings, which you can play like a guitar. The KoAloha KTM-00D6 is a 6-string tenor-size guilele with a 17.25-inch scale length and 20 frets. It is tuned A-D-G-C-E-A and uses KoAloha fluorocarbon strings, with wound strings for the A, D and G (strings 6, 5 and 4).
What does the KoAloha KTM-00D6 sound like and who is it for?
KoAloha describes the tone of its koa ukuleles as a balance of warmth and brightness, and says they suit styles from fingerpicking to strumming and from classical to jazz. In his video, Terry Carter says the guilele gives a full, thick sound. Its A-D-G-C-E-A tuning bridges the gap between a guitar and a ukulele, which suits guitar players who want a smaller instrument and ukulele players who want six strings.

What finish does the KoAloha KTM-00D6 have?

What is the difference between the KTM-00D6 and the KTM-10D6?
