In this ukulele video I'll talk about the new KoAloha KCR-10AC Concert Ukulele. https://www.koaloha.com.

KoAloha Ukuleles just sent this to me, it literally arrived at 10 PM about 45 minutes before this video.

This is a handmade ukulele with acacia top, back, and sides with a mahogany neck and a beautiful rosette.

The purpose of this ukulele is to give you a quality hand-made ukulele at a lower price tag than the koa wood 

Why is this important?

Koa wood is becoming harder to get and the price is going through the roof. As more and more people want koa for ukuleles, guitars, furniture, the supply is shrinking.

The Hawaiian Islands (the only place that grows koa wood) and they only allow a limited amount to be harvested each year to keep the forests healthy.

As the demand goes up, the supply goes down and the price soars up.

You will always be able to get a koa wood instrument but you will pay for it.

Acacia wood is part of the same family as koa wood (actually koa wood is called Acacia Koa) but acacia grows in different parts of the world, one of the places is Thailand.

It just happens that KoAloha Ukuleles has a factory in Thailand that makes handmade ukuleles with the same specs and craftsmanship as the Hawaiian factory.

They produce the KoAloha Opio line there as well as this new KCR-10AC (sort of).

Sort of because they make the body of the KCR-10AC in Thailand, but then they ship it off to the Hawaiian factory and they finish it there.

That means they add the neck (the same neck that is on all the Hawaiian made koa ukuleles), the rosette, the famous KoAloha crowns on the neck and even the black binding on the side of the fretboard.

They also set it up, check it to make sure it meets the high KoAloha Ukuleles standard and then ship it off to you.

The KoAloha KCR-10AC replaces the KoAloha Classic line as well as the KoAloha Pikake line. 

This is an amazing instrument that is at a price point between the KoAloha Opio line and the KoAloha Koa line.

You are getting a handmade instrument at a really great price. 

In the video you will notice I compare the KCR-10AC with my koa wood Classic tenor and the wood grain on both is stunning.

The KCR-10AC I'm playing in the video is a concert with a high G but they come in soprano, concert, and tenor sizes.
