Hello everybody
I am a happy customer of Gareth Yahiku, the guy behind Ana'Ole Ukuleles. I know that he does not build a ton of instruments and therefore I am not surprised that there are hardly any reviews and yet I am wondering why there is so little to read about Ana'ole on this forum.
When I search the internet I find a few sold ukes:

Ukulelefriend also sold quite a lot of them over the past few years and there a several other stores that have a Ana'ole in stock from time to time.
So they are out there but why is it that they do not appear on this forum ? Yes, some of his Ukes are quite expensive (yet not that expensive compared to other luthiers) but most of his standard models can be bought for less than 1000 USD hence they are affordable for most serious Ukulele players which are most of us in here.
His Ukes are in the same league than pretty much every other high quality Uke out there and I think that he offers a very good value for the money. Gareth himself seems to be a very cool and easy going person and it was so easy to deal with him.
I owned 3 Ana'ole Ukuleles so far and each one was very light and sounded extremely good. They all were so easy to play. Of those 3 Ukes there is only one left at my home at the moment because I just don't feel the need to own more than one Ukulele.
So I currently own a Super Concert Ukulele. Thats a tenor neck on a concert body. The top is made from engelmann spruce and the back and sides are made from brazilian rosewood. I am extremely happy with this Uke. It is light, it is easy to play, it has a lovely sound and it looks good. The only thing that I might change soon are the tuners as I prefer the look of friction tuners.
If I had too much money I would definately get another Super Concert from Ana'ole. Either a all highly figured koa made instrument or a uke with a redwood top and koa back and sides.
Are there any other Ana'ole owners in here ? What is your experience?
