I am not affiliated with Scotty's in any way but I had a great time there so I thought I would share...
On my annual trip to Kauai this month, I decided I was finally going to stop in to Scotty’s Music to check it out. I have been to Larry’s (both in Koloa and Kapaa) many times but they seem to really only carry Kamoa and even though I played probably 20 different Kamoa’s, I just couldn’t find any that sounded good to me. Disappointed with them with the exception of the new electric guitar type Uke…it sounds great. Anyway, I have driven by Scotty’s a ton of times and there really wasn’t ever a good time to stop in so I did this time. I ended up playing some great Ukes and D’Lissa the person helping us was absolutely wonderful. She was happy to help and gave me some really good details on some of the smaller builders on the island that they had in there…they were great Ukes. Anyway, my wife and I got to try out a lot of ukes, no pressure and a great atmosphere. I played Kanilea’s, Kamaka’s, KoAloha’s, Reposa’s(sp?), some small builder that uses a logo very much like Loprinzi’s, some wonderful Islanders, Kala’s and probably some more that I can't recall. Great selection and a really wide selection which is nice since most places stay in their niche market and either carry Kala's or Kamaka's but not both.
After this trip, I now have a new place to check out the latest and greatest Ukes to play.
