Ukulele Comparison: KLŌS Full Carbon and Hybrid Tenor Ukuleles

An interesting and appreciated review. Thanks Chris.

My pleasure!

According to Klos web site, the hybrid comes stock with nylon strings and the full carbon comes stock with fluorocarbon strings. That may account for most of the sound difference.

[@UkeStuff]

It says “clear nylon.” These are more like Nyltech (white), not clear. I have seen clear nylon strings; and I have also seen the D’Addario Titanium (clear with a purple tint). I do think that the combination of string type and string order impacts the sound in comparison.

They are both so cool, but I’d probably go with the full carbon fiber. But I think I would prefer the matte finish.

[@UkeStuff]

l like the gloss; I would imagine you could request the matte! I can ask!

[@CornishCockney]

I have the acoustic hybrid model which is bright and loud which is ideal for leading a group; that being said, neither of these models displayed a great sustain in your test.

[@UkeStuff]

I didn’t think either one was dead regarding sustain. I think my ukulele with the most sustain is either my KoAloha full Koa concert, or my KoAloha Opio Sapele Tenor. But that’s KoAloha, so the comparison really isn’t fair. The Blackbird Clara would be right up there, too.

Definitivamente me quedaría con el híbrido

[@UkeStuff]

I like the Full Carbon; but if I were spending my own money, it would be the hybrid as well.
