Hello everyone! So my kids have just started their tiny youtube channel and for one of the episodes, we went to Bangkok, Thailand for some Ukulele therapy. We met some really awesome people there and also met the folks at Rebel Ukulele. I thought for those that might be wondering what its like...

Can anyone give your thoughts on: 1) TODA 2) SHIMO 3) ANCESTORS 4) TRUTH 5) KIGA 6) CHIHALA I may go on a Uke hunting trip to Japan so hopefully would like to get more info on these makers if possible. Playability ranks 1st followed by Sound 2nd and Craftsmanship 3rd. As I already have...

Got the Missus a new uke!! .... or at least that is what I told her... Wow, 1st thing that caught my attention is that this uke is LOUD ( double puka maybe?) .... takes next to no effort getting her from a whisper to an all out growl, dynamics are easy to control too. Beautiful tone as well...

Tried searching the online resources and became even more confused. Can I send food stuff to Hawaii? IE: coconut jam, pineapple tarts, cashew nut cookies? These have no resale value but are gifts from an individual to another. Online resources say NO to Coconuts and Pineapples but YES to...

2) Lanikai Haleiwa Soprano prototype built by IMUA. So this was an eBay purchase. Think this may have given the seller ( really nice guy) a near heart attack as shortly after shipping it out, it fell off the tracking radar... called my destination delivery agent and their response was there is...

OK, so I have had these 2 ukes for a few months now and 1 of them is my current favourite uke for tone. So its maybe not so much a NUD than a NUQ ( new uke quarter) ;) 1) Ko'olau CS Custom Sinker redwood / Guatemalan rosewood What can I say, the fit and finish is second to none. Easily the...

Actually.. the uke in person is grey in colour. My room has warm lighting and I used the auto white balance from my phone along with a vignette frame filter.... let me go do a manual adjustment white balance and contrast adjustment

When I started my uke journey not too long ago, all I craved for was a KoAloha Red label...they were and still are relatively hard to find so the thought of owning a Black label never really crossed my mind. During this time, I have had the chance to own and play many other wonderful ukes but I...

Living in a county directly linked to the TPP and having absolutely no idea what it does for the common man, I decided to buy a new uke..... just in case.... The buying has started, Have you? :rock::rock::rock::rock:

Not sure if this helps, but I was tracking a package from Fedex and this notification was posted advising on delays. Hope you get it soon!

So I am currently out of town and as usual, have brought my uke with me. After checking in and noodling around with the uke for a while, it decided to jump out of my hands and the darnedest thing happened... the floor decided to hit my uke square on the binding. Since Luthiers are far and few...

Yup, I have the wooden hardshell case in brown Suede. Fit and finish is excellent for the price. The hardware is solid and the interior is plush, well padded and looks good. Looks and feels almost identical to the Ko'olau case. In fact, I have another Oahu case in Black currently in transit...

Hi all! Just joined and hope to learn much more from all of you! I'm new to the Ukulele but play other instruments, stringed and non stringed.
