Hi all -

I am going to be in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday, and was wondering if there were any stores in the area with a good selection of ukes. I have a little time to kill, and it's always nice to (window) shop.

Thanks in advance.
 
Harry's Guitar Shop on Glenwood has a half-dozen or so. There are the big-box stores, too -- Guitar Center and Sam Ash on Capital Blvd. If you have any way to get to Wilmington (a two-hour drive), the N.C. Ukulele Academy (alohau.com) has a couple hundred. Nice folks, too.
 
I live right outside the city limits of Raleigh, and the only ukulele store I recommend is High Strung instruments in Durham. It is about a 15 or so minute drive from RDU airport. It's a small mom-and-pop music store that specializes in acoustic instruments. They have a wall dedicated to ukuleles and generally have a nice selection from Pono's to Kanilea's. I have been to Harry's Guitar Shop, but he only carries cheaper Lanikai's; though he has a great selection of guitars.
