We now have two new lines of ‘ukulele strings. 1. One is called the Ko’olau Mahana Series. Mahana is defined as warmth. Tone and volume is very similar to our Gold Series. Mahana strings are also a very high quality nylon material, clear instead of yellow, and gauging has been slightly modified. Excellent tone and intonation. 2. The other new line is called the Ko’olau ‘Alohi Series. ‘Alohi (pronounced A-lo-hee) is defined as brilliance, and rather than nylon, ‘Alohi strings are made of a dense, hard monofilament material. Tone is bright and projection is strong. 3. And of course, our Ko’olau Gold Series is still available. String packaging has also changed. To conserve on tree fiber paper, we now use agricultural waste products for our paper. - Mahana string packaging is a mango yellow color, actually made from mango fruit waste. - ‘Alohi string packaging is a pale gray color, actually made from banana fruit waste. Papers are from Costa Rica, and 3% of all proceeds from our new agricultural paper are donated to children’s orphanages throughout Central and South America.
