I did a ton of research...I'm a newbie with ukuleles and Mike answered any question I had. I went in for a specific uke, KoAloha Soprano and "almost" left with something else but I stuck to my guns and love the instrument. We are going back for the tenor in a week for the Misses....

Great place to buy a ukulele! I got my Flight Mustang tenor from this shop, and they did a great job on quality control to ensure that I was receiving a solid instrument without burrs on the fret bars or anything bad. Adjusted the action and fitted a low G on the uke for free. Although do make sure to let them know whether you want a wound or unwound string if you’re asking them to make the switch. I ended up a wound string because I failed to specify. Not a huge deal, but good to know. They even strung it with Worth Browns, so that’s a great bonus. The uke sounds wonderful and plays great. Highly recommend this place for your next ukulele!

I just received my Kala tenor uke that I purchased online late Wednesday night. It was in my hands early Saturday afternoon! The low G string was installed, as requested. Set-up appears to have done quite satisfactorily with a QC card enclosed to confirm. I am very satisfied with the service provided by UKE Republic. Note: I realize they don't make the instruments, but I'll still add that the Kala tenor I bought has a beautiful look and sound. I'm afraid my uke group will now expect me to handle some of the instrumental solos when we perform!

While I hear great things about this store I must say after two experiences with them I am extremely dissatisfied and would not recommend them. The 1st contact, I was in the market for a $500-$1000 ukulele and sent emails to ask a few questions. I never heard back and eventually purchased through Uke Like Pros who were extremely responsive. After my purchase I sent one more email to Uke Republic informing them they lost a sale due to their poor response. I got an immediate response informing me the other emails had gone to junk mail this email from the same address got answered immediately. Strange! I went ahead and gave them another try and ordered a ukulele via their online store. There was an issue with the initial shipping address I gave them and I gave an updated correct address. I was assured they would correct it. It has now been about 2 week and it arrived at the wrong address and I now have no way of getting it. I sent an email telling them they sent it to the wrong location. Big surprise but NO RESPONSE. Worst experience I have had yet with an online music store. I would not recommend them!

No music related business experience is by any mean, is as well done and cared for even remotely as good as Mike and Donna and family are at Uke Republic.Unsurpassable in all regards.

Loved it. If you have or are considering the uke, please visit. In an awesome old thread factory. Great ukes and toys to check out. Owner will help you get connected with local uke lessons and clubs to start your uke-ing adventure. Stop by if you're driving past!

I placed an order on 3/29/23. Item never shipped. Poor communication from store. Told it's on it's s way multiple times,but never shipped.Asked for a refund still no activity. What a shame. All I want is you to do what you say you will one time.

Mike is super friendly and keeps some of the biggest uke inventory around. I wish I lived closer to this store. I’d be there all the time.

Glad i discovered this place. They have a very wide range of ukuleles unlike any anywhere ive ever seen. Mike was very friendly, helpful, and patient as i tried out various ukuleles. I ended up buying a really cool banjolele that i am very happy with. Would definitely shop here again.

I retuned a Ubass to the store by UPS. I have heard nothing from Uke Republic and they have not credited my account after numerous attempts by email and phone. They may be a great store but customer relations needs serious improvement.

Friendly service and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this company as they have a great selection and offering opportunities for learning and networking in the uke community.

Went there just over a year ago and had a great experience trying out a number of different ukuleles. Mike and his staff were wonderful. I actually left with banjolele, Ubass, and a baritone Uke. Since then I've purchased additional accessories and a tenor Uke! And on Facebook Mike typically will do a Happy Friday live presentation with various uses, new Uke, new products, etc. Just wish it weren't 6+ hours from where I live.

I bought my first ukulele yesterday! After looking at all the local shops I decided to go to UKE Republic for a broader sampling of choices (an hour's drive away from me). It was a wonderful experience! Mike was so helpful. He listened to what I was interested in, helped me determine the size I needed/wanted, and helped me stay within my budget! There is something there for everyone! He must have played 20 different ukuleles for me - since I'm still too new at this to get a good sound sampling. He was super patient and got me the things I needed. He was not pushy in selling me things I didn't need but pointed out things I might want to consider for later. Great experience! UKE Republic is the best!!

This store is super great! They have a vast selection of great quality ukuleles and accessories. The staff was also wonderful.Tip: Yes, go into the massive brick building. The store is inside.
