I am really curious about the small guitars (?) that Daniel Ho and now George were playing....
and in what tunings...
I would guess Daniel might use his
"dgcgbe" method ...
His book is nicely done, and even though I really didn't need another tuning...
well I got it for grins...and grimaces.

but forgot to ask more about these cool sounding instruments...
believe they were KoAloha....
almost a uke size...but 6 stings....and probably about a 4th or 5th higher in tuning pitch...

Aloha Gordon,

Those instruments are actually 6-string ukuleles, but they are tuned differently than a standard 6 string. They were collaboratively designed by Daniel Ho and KoAloha, I believe. Daniel tunes his to his own Kiluea tuning and I believe George had his tuned to Taropatch. I think we might've even had a picture of it here on TP. However, if you want more info, you can go on to KoAloha's website or Daniel's. Yes indeed, they were very cool!!!!

Hi Gordon,

Check this link. New KoAloha 6-string

And sorry to be moving your posts around. Hopefully I didn't confuse the heck out of you.
