Thanks for your replys, I'm back from my journey. I wasn't able to go to San Jose or other places near SF, but fortunately I could visit Aloha Warehouse. They had neither KoAloha nor Kamaka in stock, but the Kanileas were amazing.
But since I travel next year to Hawaii and I had three weeks of camping before me, I decided to buy a cheap Makaii Pineapple Soprano. It brought me much fun on romantic campfire evenings, I guess it was the right descision. I really look forward to a Koa Ukulele next year!
Cheers,

Hi Uke Players,
I live in Germany and I am glad to visit the USA in four weeks (California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah). I thought about satisfying my UAS in the USA, because it's such a nice acronym.
Which ukes are very special, only available in the United States or much cheaper than in Europe?
Flea? LoPrinzi? Kiwaya (seem to be cheaper in the USA, although they are from Japan)?
Next year I'm honeymooning in Hawaii, so I want to buy a Hawaiian Koa Ukulele (maybe a (custom?) KoAloha) directly from there.
Do you have any special secret hints for me?
And: Do you know any good ukulele shop in San Francisco, Las Vegas or Los Angeles (that are the biggest towns I gonna visit)?
Of course without a shop I cannot buy a ukulele. ^^
Thanks in advance,
Linho
