Before Buying...

Hawaiian ukuleles are beautiful hand-made instruments.
They sound beautiful when played and are aesthetically pleasing. This beauty comes from the traditional way in which they are built. All the ukuleles that we carry are of the highest standard of quality. These are collector-grade instruments that are made by professionals who have dedicated their lives to the art of making beautiful instruments.

We believe that the best way to buy any musical instrument is to go to the store personally, feel and listen to the instrument, and make decisions based on your gut instinct.

For those of you who can make it to our store in Waikiki, we encourage you to take a hard look at all of the ukuleles and try out all of the instruments that you are interested in, and make the choice for yourself.
However, as Hawaii is one of those far away places that are out of reach for many ukulele enthusiasts, we offer our online shopping for your convenience.

We take great care in sending only the highest quality gear to our customers.
Each piece is carefully inspected for cracks, blemishes, and quality issues before we send it off to assure you that you receive the highest quality of our current stock.

One issue we want you to understand is that the wood grain of the ukulele you receive may be different from the pictures in our web site as we send you the first available ukulele of the same make and model as your order.

Our store already is highly regarded in Japan, where the ukulele is extremely popular.
Almost all of our customers have been very satisfied with the products that we have shipped to them.

In the case that an ukulele has suffered damage that has rendered it unplayable or handicapped (this has not happened yet), we will gladly refund the full cost of shipping and items purchased as long as you give a notice and ship it back to us within one week after you receive your order(s).

We pack our ukuleles with the utmost care, and we do this in two different ways.
If you are sending us back a return or exchange item, please follow the following instruction when packing your return.
  1. Ukulele with a case
    After placing the ukulele in a ukulele case, please secure the ukulele so it does not move within the case, then wrap the case, then wrap the case with several layers of bubble wrap.
  2. Ukulele without a case
    If no case is purchased, please cover the ukulele with non-scratch wrapping paper, then place it in ac cardboard box and secure it so it does not move. Then please wrap it with several layers of bubble wrap.
After each of these processes, please cover the complete package with postal paper and secure it with US Postal service approved tapes. Please use a "fragile" tape or note the item is fragile so that the package will be handled with care.

About Repairs
After a week has past, pretend your ukulele gets stepped on, or you break a back brace. What do you do now?
You can bring it to your local guitar shop for repairs, and repairman who knows guitars can most likely fix an ukulele. But before you do that, please check with us to see if any repairs could be covered by the manufacturer warranty.
All manufacturers have different warranties, but most are a standard 90-day limited.
But some manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on defects. If you cannot find satisfactory repairs in your area, you may send the ukulele to us to get it repaired for you.
All shipping charges plus repair charges are incurred by the customer in any such case.
Please take very good care of your ukulele and it will take care of you.

NOTE: When sending us the ukulele, please send it with great care.
Ukuleles are fragile and we will not be held responsible for damages accumulated during shipping.
We are glad to help you in getting your ukulele repaired for any reason, but repairs can be expensive so be sure to practice "defensive playing" and do not play "Rockstar" with your several hundred dollar hand-made ukulele.
