Anybody know anything about Nice Ukuleles made by Ed Bacani in Hawaii? I was looking at his 8 string and his 6 string models. Thanks.

The necks are rather crude and fret work lacking so playing feels like a chore. With proper adjustment and dressing they can be great players.. i have heard some that sound great and others that just dont...bodies usually have some evenless or slight deformaty due to change in humidity..they look wavy in reflections...These are usualy built in humidity averaging in the 90% tiles..orignially brought in by Bacani and sold as Nice ukulele..as they say " final assembly in USA which usually means .. they put the strings and tuners on

I thought they are two different business...I could be wrong....I thought the store is in Lahaina..front street... and I never saw them with nice ukuleles selling..Isn't D&D stand for Doris & Daniel???I wondered about that. I saw your listings on eBay and noticed the "N" on the headstock. So D&D is a "store" and not a manufacturer? Or didi D&D buy out Nice?

Daniel buys his "D&D" branded PI made 'ukuleles thru Edmund Bacani who adds the D&D logo to headstock before shipping to Maui. The two 'ukuleles are pretty much identical. I have a very decent tenor pineapple that I really got for a good deal from Mr. Bacani at the Aloha Stadium Flea Market 2 years ago but under false pretenses sold to me as "Made in Hawai'i" when in fact it was not. It burns me a tad because we talked story for almost an hour and found we both worked for the State DOT and that we shared the same circle of friends but even then he did not have the decency to tell me the truth about country of origin of his 'ukuleles which I later discovered and was verified to me by two very reliable sources. I would not buy a D&D or a NICE 'ukulele sight unseen but if it can be examined and played in advance and the price haggled with with Edmund at the Flea market then you can get a decent Koa 'ukulele at a very reasonable price. Whatever you do don't buy his "Made in Hawai'i" schpeel.
