we bought a Makala ukulele for our four year old. it's a fun strum and is very durable. the young man in the shop helped us find the right instrument, tuned us up, and gave me a few pointers as a dad who plays guitar but needs to learn uke chords. fun times, this place is first class.

The cutest, nicest music store with very knowledgeable, friendly people. So fun to take a ukalale class while on vaca. We just found out at the end of our time in Hanalei. Highly recommend a visit! Mahalo Nui for your kindness!

Don’t waste your time. Picked up a guitar, played for 2 mins before asked to “play quietly.” So that she could make a call. No one else was in the store.
