The Koa 8-string tenor is definitely at the top for sound and projection. When playing an 8-string tenor, every mele (song) sounds so much sweeter. The instrument is strung with octave pairs in the G (forth) course and C (third) course. The E (second) and A (first) course are both at standard tuning. The 8-string tenor is usually for the advanced player, although we have built many 8-stringed instruments for customers who soon find out the benefits of playing a beautiful sounding 'ukulele.

In our enduring pursuit to share with our visitors every aspect of our instruments, we have compiled these "sound files" for your enjoyment. We also included a detailed "spec list" of each of our instruments. Since we started building 'ukuleles over 20 years ago, our main focus has been the instrument's sound. Through the years, we have "fine tuned" our design to create an 'ukulele with superior sound. These sound files will allow you to have the opportunity to hear the sound quality and tonality of our instruments and understand why we have so many return customers.
