Soprano -Soprano is the smallest of the four ukulele body sizes and is the traditional ukulele size. The Honu Soprano is perfect for kids learning ukulele or for adults who prefer the brighter tone of a traditional ukulele.
Concert -Concert ukuleles are currently the most popular ukulele body size worldwide. Bigger than a soprano but smaller than a tenor, a concert uke is the perfect middle ground for most players. This size is suitable for all ages, though small children may be better suited to a soprano.
Tenor -Tenor ukuleles are exploding in popularity thanks to the full, deep sound produced by their larger body size. Bigger than the concert, the tenor is great for teenagers and adults that are looking for the most volume from their ukulele and extra space for their fingers on the fretboard.
Baritone -As the name suggests, a baritone ukulele is the largest and deepest sounding of all of the ukulele sizes. Usually tuned like the highest four strings of a guitar (DGBE), rather than the GCEA tuning found on most ukes, a baritone is great if you have a background in guitar because you won't have to learn any new chord shapes. They are also very fun if you are a ukulele player looking to experiment with a different tone.

Acacia has long been one of the most popular tonewoods used on higher end ukuleles and it's easy to see why. Visually striking and tonally rich, each piece of acacia has its own characteristics, making each instrument built with it unique. For our Kohala Deluxe series, we have paired the all acacia body with abalone style purfling and rosette and flame maple binding. As with all Honolua Ukuleles, it includes premium features designed to produce the best tone possible at an affordable price, including solid acacia top for greater volume and better tone, bone nut and saddle for better clarity and sustain, open back machine heads for tuning precision and eco-friendly wood selections.
Kohala Series
The Kohala has all of the aesthetic upgrades of the Mano, including solid top, maple binding, gold tuners, and dual strap pins, but it’s built with acacia wood instead of mahogany. Acacia is revered for its beautiful, full tone and we’ve added abalone-style trim around the body.

I am in love with the look, the feel, and the sound of this instrument! The acacia wood is stunning, the maple binding with the abalone.... it's a work of art! This is my first baritone ukulele. I had been looking at them for months and months, undecided, until I found this model and HAD to have it. I am so glad i ordered it. The tone is deep and rich. Gorgeous!
I also ordered an electric tenor (for 50% off) from the acacia Koaloha line with a minor defect that is equally lovely. I'm so happy.
UKULELE PROS
My kohala baritone arrived yesterday. In spite of spending 10 days in the postal system it had held its tuning right out of the box. The acacia wood is beautiful and the grain is perfectly matched. The only negative is that a small area on one side has a rough finish, but generally the build is good. The sound is deep and rich, with good volume and sustain. The fret board is easy play - no buzzing strings and bar cords much easier than my old instrument. The classy gig bag is a bonus. Well worth the reasonable price.
Great ukulele for this price. Very very nice Acacia wood grain, nicely built, very good and easy to use machines. Great sustain! Love the engraved brand name on the head, this is very classy, such an expensive detail look. i like the light color of the mahogany neck, great contrast with the color of acacia.
Very good service from Dave, easy to get answers from him and I like the quick and included delivery in the price.
This is a beautiful baritone ukulele and the sound is wonderful. The acacia wood has lovely grain and colour. It feels comfortable to hold and the strap pins are a great addition. I'm enjoying it immensely! It was ordered with a stand a few days before the free stand was offered but it was honored by refunding the cost of the stand. Your customer service was excellent and much appreciated!
I decided to try the ukulele barítono size and I am glad that I did it. The ukulele is beautiful and the sound is amazing. This ukulele is a great addition to my collection!
