This is a must for ukulele players that having or eventually buying a high-end made in Hawaii ukulele. This factory has been at this location for over a hundred years with a proud legacy and continues to be a family operation.
The tour included an introduction to the history of the ukulele in Hawaii. This is not a slick tourist tour, but a real working factory of local workers in a specialty trade.
Don’t expect to buy an instrument as they have a backlog of orders - but you will have a chance to play with the instrument of your choice- I choose the pineapple and the eight string tenor.
Highly recommend if you’re super...
Read moreI was shopping for my first Ukulele and these are the most beautiful ones I've ever heard and seen. Such love and precision go into these warm sounding instruments. Starting, you're looking around $1550 which is a great price but not for me, whos just learning. Very understanding one of the owners Katie directed us where to go to get a starter. She then took us on an impromptu tour of their factory. She was super kind and humble person to whom im grateful for her hospitality. Needless to say, I vow to return to purchase one of these fine instruments on my next visit. Thank you so much...
Read moreI sent my Kamaka Tenor in for repair and received it back today. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened up the case and saw my ukulele. They did an amazing job on it. The original white label as well as the original KK on the headstock were still there. I couldn't of have dreamed of it looking any better. I would like to thank Chris Kamaka for doing an amazing job and I want to thank Tekla for excellent and professional customer service. I wish I could thank you guys in person. Definitely 5 star...
