Congrats on your upcoming new uke. I had Willie build me 2 ukes to MY specs and both are keepers and will be heirlooms. I have a May build slot but may not use it, got into fishing more now and put my ukes (35) on the back burner. As far as his popularity, it was due to his prices that he...

Aloha, Read a lot of comments about brand X or Y ukes being too heavy. Do you think it really makes that much of a difference? Are you guys talking about the static weight? Just for my own information, I've decided to static weigh all my ukes using a digital scale that is used for mail. The...

Here is a H.I.D. Koa Soprano built by Michael Rock of Mele fame. I think it was built in the early 80s before he took on the Mele name. Looking for more info if anyone knows anything. Nice addition to my Mele Ohana and it pre-dates all my other Meles. Any info will be appreciated. First one...

Just want to wish my UU Ohana a very Happy Holidays......

Aloha, I became a UU member 2 years ago as a result of my re-interest in the Ukulele after many decades. Growing up in Hawaii, I was immersed in the Culture like most local kids and wanted to learn the instrument that the Kupunas (Elders) played. My neighborhood (Kalihi Valley Homes) consisted...
