Actually all of them have totally amazing koa and sound and feel great. The tenor comes in a Spruce Top and Cedar Top also. Besides a few NAMM customs these are ...

Bettah Daze

I remember when I first met my wife. She came over to Ko'olau's workshop and I was playing bass with my band. I loved the sound of her voice and couldn't stop thinking about her. The next time we saw each other was at a party where we left together and went to Kailua beach park. We sat at an ...

The Art of Moore!

Aloha friends! Here's a look at two Moore Bettah's that just arrived. Absolutely stunning masterpieces! Gorgeous koa, creative inlay, and Moore Bettah tone make these the best! They're completely handmade and completely one of a kind. This is some of Hawaii's finest art, but Chuck builds for musical qualities as much as aesthetic. Both are vibrant in tone, have perfect intonation, ...

Pepe’s Guilele & an Original from Corey

Pepe makes an amazing guitar and ukulele. This is a tenor size and scale tuned like a guitar with a capo at the 5th. A-D-G-C-E-A. Uke players can spread their range. Guitar players can expand their palate. Check out this "Little Pepe", made by the man himself. What a fantastic instrument! We recorded this right after Corey wrote it. He ...

3 Amigos! – LFdM Ukulele Review

Today we are reviewing three tenor ukes from Luis Feu de Mesquita, aka LFdM, a custom maker from Ontario Canada. Luis' tenor has become extremely loved in just a short period of time and despite being "untraditional" looking. Based on the Macaferri "Django-style" guitars, these mini versions are called Ukaferri's, and they aren't only different on the outside. Luis builds ...

“One-Offs” – Kala Mango & Ovangkol!

These Kalas have only solid woods and the finest touches. So why won't they be models? I think it comes down to affordability. Staying true to your price range. Nevertheless, they are beautiful, solid wood, and they are crafted with skill and attention. Since they will only be once I thought I would document them here. Take a look/listen and ...

The Best Tenors from $500-$700

These ukes are fairly new models and they are my top choices for a tenor in this price range. You can sometimes find local builders in this price range but these are a notch above what I have seen. Heck, next floor up from some I have seen. When you lay down over 500 bucks you want a super musical ...
