A Little Bit About Us:
First off, we know that having a well made, great sounding, easy to play instrument goes along way to being a successful muscian who can enjoy playing alone or with a group. Nothing beats that. To help get you there, we have investigated the best resources to provide you with what we think are sound choices, to help you pick out a model that is right for you or as a special gift you want to give to someone you care about.
We have been playing, researching, and writing about various models of stringed instruments, like the ukulele, banjo and mandolin, for a long time. (I grew up listening to native Hawaiians singing and playing in my living room, one being my Mom's best friend, so I truly appreciate a good ukulele sound). With over 25 years experience in purchasing products for small companies and large corporations, we also know how to find the best at the lowest price. That's what getting a good value means.
Of course, not everyone can afford, or needs the most expensive brand or models, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality when you buy a new ukulele. Great American companies Oscar Schmidt, for example, make some of the best crafted stringed instruments around, and they have a full range of ukules suitable for every need, from beginners on up. There are other affordable alternatives out there that are well made, and perfect for the beginner or if you are just on a tighter budget. I will NOT recommend any instruments just because they are a well known brand, or have a lower price tag. I will only recommend those models I know are good buys, will last a long time, and tell you why. There are other brands out there that are perfectly good instruments, but if I don't know of anyone who has bought and played them, I just won't pass on a recommendation until I do.
I hope you will find our site informative and useful!
Aloha!
