There's something appealing about the simplicity of this 'Oli. The all-solid Acacia construction gives it a lovely natural appearance, with the grain of the wood providing plenty of interest without the need for elaborate decoration. The satin finish suits it particularly well, giving the instrument a more natural, understated look and allowing the character of the Acacia to come through. It sings nicely and has a warm, Hawaiian tone.

The ‘Oli L-TA-S has a pleasing combination of warmth, sweetness and clarity. There's a lovely balance to the sound, with enough body to give strumming real presence, but also a pretty brightness that helps individual notes stand out. It has a quite laid back, relaxed and warm sound, aided of course by the low G that is fitted as standard.

It's an easy ukulele to enjoy, whether you're playing chords or picking out melodies. There's a natural responsiveness to it, and the sound has enough depth and sustain to make it very satisfying to spend time with. It’s an entry level instrument (as far as the ‘Oli range goes at least!), but has lots going for it, with lattice bracing, lovely Uke Logic low G strings and an excellent gig bag. The nut width is 37mm and it has Grover geared tuners.

Sometimes it's the simpler instruments that get things just right, and the L-TA-S is a good example. A beautifully understated, all-solid Acacia tenor with a lovely voice and a finish that really allows the wood to speak for itself.

At the bottom of the page there’s a range of optional extras. These are the same for every uke on the site, and things like strap buttons, you might consider. The rest? Well it has a low G already, and an excellent bag…. so good that I’d probably stick with that and not consider a hard case. (Not doing well with the cross selling here am I?!)
