I'm lucky enough to be on Oahu visiting again, and today had the pleasure of visiting Joe and Kristen Souza and their staff at Kanile'a Ukulele. In addition to adding strap buttons to my tenor, Joe gave me the tour. I learned the history, the process and got to see for myself how these wonderful instruments are made. Kristen showed me around the brand new showroom, and I had the honor of being their first customer in the new space. I was quite impressed with their stand on renewable and eco-friendly production practices. More importantly, I was so impressed with the kindness and warmth of the Kanile'a staff. i was plenty happy with my Islands tenor before today - now I've had the pleasure of meeting the people responsible for it. This is a must-see visit if you're on Oahu. Mahalo to Kristen, Joe and the guys at Kanile'a.
