Hi Everyone:
I just got back from a 10 day trip to Oahu. In addition to hiking, snorkeling, and general Hawaiian vacation activities...I got in some "uke adventures". I took a tour of the Ko'olau/Pono uke factory (see separate post for pics)
I also made it a point to visit HMS and Ukulele PuaPua. Here are some pics for anyone interested.
This is Corey and Noah at Hawaiian Music Supply in Haleiwa. I also met Aaron, but unfortunately I didn't take pictures that day. They're all very cool and friendly.
The selections of ukes at HMS is unbelievable. They're very relaxed and have no issues with you trying out anything. Doesn't matter if it's a $50 Makala, or an "umpty-ump thousand dollar" custom jobs.
Still at HMS. I got a real kick out of playing this little thing. Made me feel like a giant just holding it.
This is a pic of the Ukulele PuaPua store in the Sheraton Waikiki. I'ts mush smaller than HMS (more of a boutique store), but the selection of unusual and local made ukes is amazing. If you're on Oahu anywhere close to Waikiki...I recommend a drop in.
This made me laugh. We were at K-Mart picking up sunscreen when I ran across these.
So question...does a K-Mart uke count as a "K brand".
