If I were given a million dollars to buy more ukes for the store… I would mostly just explore more custom builders. Offering every affordable brand would be a disservice to your time, a roadblock to your musical accomplishments, an obstruction to your enjoyment. Too dramatic? LOL! Basically, certain models give a better value and that is what we focus on.
With that said, I’m here to tell you…this new ukulele line from Gretsch is

Benny is a one-of-a-kind bee-boppin baritone jazz artist. Benny taught himself ukulele when he was a young kid but left it to be a professional guitarist for many years with Don Ho. One day he brought a baritone to the gig and at the end of the night Don told Benny, “Anytime you wanna play ukulele, it’s fine with me”…
….I understand why most companies manufacturing ukes do not do this themselves. In the market, price rules. Everyone has a price point. So these companies, just like most online music stores, end up simply moving boxes in and out the door hoping never to see them again. The bean counters won’t allow a worker to sit there all day making $100 ukuleles play better…….
Hello again! Sorry it’s been so long. Unfortunately, I wasn’t sitting around playing ukulele. I’ve been spending my free time (a.k.a. middle of the night) building the new Ko’olau Ukulele website! Click the logo to check it out, it will be a continuing process. I’ve also been recording Corey and Aaron weekly and we now have well over 500 videos …
Everyone knows we don’t need an ukulele this nice. But we love them! We dream of how awesome it would be to get them. The combination of beauty and what we can do with them makes us feel so alive. I will liken it to a beautiful woman, that also happens to be a Master Chef. She doesn’t have to be beautiful to appreciate her food, but it doesn’t exactly hurt. I personally LOVE taking ukes like these in the photo room. It’s glorious! My gratitude goes……
My wife and I have owned Hawaii Music Supply for about eight years now. For the first five years I did most of the in-store assisting of customers. At the time, Mike was running his eBay store and I used to think, he probably just sits in his boxers all day listing ukes and answering emails. He couldn’t handle helping people in a …
Here, Pepe Romero has shrunk a classical guitar! And, they would compete with guitars in the low mid frequency range where most ukes are non existent. Yet there is a crystal clean articulation, and even a reverberated sustain that comes out as you attack the higher range. It reminds me of the high notes on a grand piano.
Not many people can say they own a Pepe Romero ukulele. But within less than two years they have gotten a lot of notoriety. Some musicians owning a Pepe Romero ukulele that you may have heard of include, Daniel Ho, Jake Shimabukuro, Eddie Vedder, Paula Fuga, and Jack Johnson. Ever heard of them?
So, how do I feel about Pepe Romero’s ukuleles?
