Ohana ukuleles are some of the cheapest solid wood ukuleles around. A number of their instruments are solid mahogany yet priced at under $200. That's very rare.
Obviously, with the instruments being so cheap, they are not made in the US but China. As you can see from Ken Middleton's review below, this means that the finishing and set up aren't always perfect. But for such a low price tag, it might be a compromise you're happy to make.
Ohana produce two unusual instruments that are popular with ukulelists looking for something a little different. The SK-21 is a sopranino i.e. it is even smaller than a soprano. With an overall length of less than 20 inches, it makes for a great traveling uke. The other is the CKP-70. This is a replica of the Roy Smeck Vita-Uke. It has the distinctive teardrop shape and unusually shaped sound holes.
