The old acoustic non-reso Oahus come up in conversations now and then. For the curious, here's what one sounds like.

Recording notes- Large diaphragm mic into computer, Audacity, maybe a bit of eq. or compression, otherwise just the Oahu.

Nice playing and sounding Oahu.

Thanks for posting. Nice playing. Tone is more like a hollow neck than I would have thought.

Is tuning 151351 (low to high)?

Yes, that's the tuning; and in D. I usually play in E, but the Oahu sounds better in D.
