Cool little spot that is the spot for the ukulele aficionado. Massive selection of instruments in low to super high price ranges. They have music books and other things that are helpful too.

Could not have asked for a better experience buying my Koaloha ukulele! Tyler was very knowledgeable and even walked me through how to care for my new instrument. I highly recommend this store! If you are coming to Honolulu for a high end instrument or youre just starting out, you cant go wrong here! Theres something for everyone.

Make sure to visit this shop if you are interested in purchasing a ukulele!!! The owner, Tyler, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, he helped me try quite a few ukes and was easily able to point me in the right direction. He even let me play his personal instruments for comparison! There is a great selection of beautiful locally-made instruments and I ended up purchasing two fantastic ukuleles during my visit. The shop is on the second level of the shopping center, do not pass it by!!!

Great little store with nice selection and helpful staff. No refunds or exchanges though, so know what youre looking for in advance. Also, no lessons At this time, which was a bummer.

I have never had a more impressive customer service experience. (Sorry for misspelling) Taiga was so knowledgeable, patient, kind, and was able to guide me to the perfect ukulele. I imagine I will be playing my new Kumu Hawaiin Koa Ukulele my entire life. Thank you.

I got to say that this is a great shop. I was excited to purchase a ukulele thinking that I understood all there was to know but quickly found out I did not. The team at the Ukulele Store gave me all the knowledge that I could process and invited me back for more. I ended up purchasing a Mango Tenor Ukulele. I believe I made the right choice in Ukuleles. Thanks for all the knowledge and help. When I come back to the island, this will definitely be one of my first stops. What should I buy next? LOL

I bought a high-end ukulele there. They have a fantastic selection of ukuleles and their staff is quite knowledgeable and happy to educate.My recommendation is to enter the shop without preconceptions as to what you want. Let your ears, hands and wallet figure that out while you enjoy their selection. The people who work there care passionately about what they sell. Any curiosity about and appreciation for the history of the ukulele will be rewarded.For those buying online, may I suggest also calling the store. Not all their selection is on their website, in part because they want to avoid issues associated with shipping some ukuleles to the mainland (particularly to places with lower humidity).

The biggest ukulele shop is Waikiki, with the greatest range of choices (although some other shops did have different brands). After visiting the 3 other options in the area, I ended up buying one here. The staff member was very friendly and helpful, letting me try a half dozen options while also greeting and catering to each person who walked in.

Absolutely beautiful instruments ranging from great beginner ukuleles all the way through the range to world-class, high end masterpieces. The guys in the store are incredibly nice, knowledgeable and passionate. If you don’t fall in love with at least one ukulele in this store I can’t imagine.

Fit on the Second floor down have a fresh coconut water selling store I Buyed a whole coconut and training a free Ukulele class on the Ukulele Store

Absolutely loved the store! Widest range of ukes that I could find in the area and the owner and other worker there were extremely kind and helpful. Loved the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a uke or something along those lines.

Great selection. Staff is crazy knowledgeable too! Youll have fun here if you enjoy ukulele as genuine instrument!

Great selection of amazing instruments!

The guy that runs this shop really knows his ukulele. He was super helpful recommending things to try and was just generally great to chat with about ukulele things and some history of ukes in Hawaii.Tried many instruments. They have a great range of instruments from beginner and inexpensive to the nicest, most costly ukes available.Definitely check it out!

Bought my first uke, and within a week it has changed my life. The store attendant is highly knowledgeable of and passionate for the aloha spirit that is embodied in the wood, music, and history of the ukulele. Mahalo again, Jeremy!

Awesome selection and amazing helpful staff who are really into the instrument and the history and culture around it. Kinda Waikiki prices but at the same time they have models and producers you wont find anywhere else either.

I was visiting from Chicago i came in to buy a locally crafted Ukulele, the selection was incredible full of beautiful Instruments. The service was also amazing very friendly and informative.

The person working-didn’t quite catch his name-was absolutely amazing! he made it very easy to purchase my new tenor uke. This store also had a great selection of ukes, as well as cases and music books. 5/5 would recommend!

Great selection and frindly staff. Will be coming back for sure.

Great place to buy ukes on the island. Even took a mainlander like me seriously once he knew I knew what I was talking about! Nice wall of solid wood ukes and a nice wall of cheaper ones. Great place to get a Uke if you want one from Oahu!

A wide range of ukes and exceptional quality. They even have ukulele lessons too

Friendly and knowledgeable staff

This was awful. Everywhere it is constantly advertised that they have free ukulele lessons each day at 10.30 and 4.30. In the picture there are all ages and lots of kids in the ad. My 5 year old daughter was so excited when she saw the store when we arrived in Waikiki (as she has a little ukulele at home) and really wanted to go back and have a lesson.So I took her there to a 10.30 lesson on Monday, there was 1 other person there, and his wife was sitting to the side watching. I sat down with my daughter on one of the spare seats. At no point upon entering did we receive a smile or a hello - nothing. The man giving the lessons looked at as with a blank face as if to say ‘WTF are you doing here?’With a big smile I said Hi and asked if we could do a lesson. He said No, as she was too young. I was fine with that so asked if we could sit to watch. He said no cause the lesson was finished! It was only 10.35! They said that he had been playing for ‘ages’ and that it was over.So we just left, with my daughter in tears. She had been so excited and couldn’t understand why she couldn’t at least see someone play the ukulele.Absolutely so rude - wouldn’t recommend this place. So stupid of him too, we were keen to learn, experience and shop! Lost customer here and I’ll definitely be spreading the word to avoid this place.

Great store, great owner and great Ukuleles. What more could you ask for. Thanks

We ended up buying a beautiful ukulele and case. The woman that was there was very friendly and helpful with my daughter who was looking for her first instrument. Would happily return for future purchases.She also gave us the advice to loosen the strings when we fly back home so they dont get damaged or break completely with the change in pressure.

If you need a Ukulele, this is the place to be! I’ve scouted around different stores in the area and this is by far the best one. Tyler is quick to help and will also help find the perfect ukulele for you. The store has an amazing selection, while narrowing down to the best. If pricing is something that’s on your mind, the prices are spectacular as well. Great customer service and will be sure to come back if I ever need anything else ukulele related! Definitely check the Ukulele Store out! Also, for those in the mainland, if you’re ever worried about bringing back your ukulele, they have an amazing case or it can be shipped back to you!

My wife and I visited this store as she wanted the free ukulele lesson. The staff was phenomenal, and are not only knowledgeable about ukuleles but are clearly passionate about them. The lesson was fun and informative, and the staff happily answered all our questions. Even though we didnt buy anything, it was some of the best customer service Ive ever experienced in any store.

Great place with a big selection of ukuleles (soprano, concert, tenor) and a few guitars, mostly acoustic but some electric, all at a wide range of prices. Youll definitely find something youll like, whether beginner or pro. Tons of ukulele accessories - stands, tuners, albums, cases (hard and soft). Knowledgeable salesman that helped me find a good ukulele for me, a beginner. Definitely worth a browse but you will find something.

Super personable staff! The Ukulele I wanted was just a touch out of my price range, but they made a lot of good suggestions and recommended going to the KoAloha store to look for what I wanted.

I highly recommend this store! As a novice, I learned so much from the sales person. Plus, I received a free ukelele lesson without a purchase. I am still not sure if a ukelele will end up in a box with all my harmonicas but they helped make the decision less intimidating! Their prices are competitive, if not better than what I have seen elsewhere.

Dont be fooled by the touristy location, this store has an excellent selection of instruments for any budget, including some rare finds.

Really nice time with the young man at the store this evening. He played 3 different ukuleles for me to help me choose. First class store. Top recommendations!,,,

Walked in a few days ago later at night. There was a young man working the counter who was very condescending towards my questions about the different ukuleles. I own a Concert ukulele at home and was interested in growing my collection. Was very interested in the weird German ukulele located by the register. Was super excited to try out this new instrument but due to the disrespect I walked out. Really hoping to find a similar one in one of the other stores otherwise Ill have to go back.Tltr: plenty of selections but poor customer service

Amazing store. Friendly and helpful staff. Great lesson, highly recommend.

Great store, Tyler very helpful and happy to spend time with us to share his expertise ..

Dropped in for the free ukulele lesson, but it being free is the only reason I give this store 2 stars. Clerk was very rude throughout the lesson. I asked two simple questions about how to hold a ukulele and he got annoyed and told me “if this were a violin lesson you would be crying”. Well, it was not a violin lesson, nor was I even remotely complaining. I’m simply a guitarist that had a bit of difficulty figuring out how to hold a smaller instrument.Treat customers with more respect and this would be a great little store.

The knowledge there is amazing. I have homework to do but this is the place to buy

Great selection, from affordable beginner instruments to professional level. Many Hawaiian made which is what I wanted. Jeremy was the sales guy and was very helpful and cheerful.

Good store, with good selection of personal items. food and souvenirs. Good place to go if you cant find it at the ABC Store...

Extensive range of ukuleles and some guitars. Impressive wall of old records. Worth browse in the store.

Great staff, very knowledgeable and willing to help understand what you want and help find the right instrument.

I am writing this review to help others get past dealing with far away venders in buying products. I have been looking for a quality baritone ukulele for months. The music stores in the north Seattle areas are not stocking them at all? Online I came across The Ukulele Store out in Hawaii. They had multiple choices along with valued help from their staff. The unit was shipped on-time and with proper care. After ordering my second Uke to add to the collection, humidity and construction problems occurred in the shipping (no fault of their own). Without hesitation, Andrew and Zach handled the problem and resolved it to my satisfaction. This store has exceeded my expectations for value and level of service. Being far away from the customer they could have bailed or gave excuses. Instead, they listened, acted quickly and made a customer of me and my friends for life! Their quality of instruments and selection is outstanding. Their customer service, no matter where you are located, is impeccable. This store IS A GEM. Steve Phillips- Spring 2018…

Awesome, music is my passion and ukaleles are my new adventure and this store has an amazing selection. I was a lil inquisitive and learned a lot.THANK YOU

Good selection with a wide range of prices . I am taking one home

Good selection, employees were nice had everything from a beginner or luxury ukelele.

There aren’t many ukulele stores in the city of Vancouver and I really want to buy a good quality Kamaka tenor uke. Looking forward!

Great selection of Ukulele and music books for all levels and all prices. Even a build your own kit and a beginners starter pack which looked good value. I was really surprised at the prices. I thought they would be heaps cheaper than in NZ, but not so.We went to the free lesson (dont bother). The chap we saw wasnt too interested. Might have been different if peeps were interest in purchasing a Uke, but I already have one and just wanted some advice on beginners books. Got pointed to the rack of beginners books but not much more ... Anyway we chose a couple which have turned out to be fantastic. He did tell us they were a good choice and he was right.Not worth going for the lesson unless have never held a Uke or a guitar. Its free but about 10 mins long. Youre shown three cords, and sing happy birthday song.Yes Id visit again if I was interested in more music or wanted advice on a Uke. Would be interested if someone else had been in the store to see if the service was different. Im sure they get fed up with tire kickers.

Higher price point for ukuleles but a beautiful selection with a kind, helpful owner.

The shop has a large selection of instruments from the low to the very high ($4k+) end. They also have tons of accessories, which can be a little difficult to find outside of a specialty store like this.In addition to their regular ukes they have other nifty items, including a case with vintage and collectible ukuleles. It’s worth dropping by just to take a look in the case. They also have CDs, songbooks, and self-teaching courses, but those are more par for the course.The retail space is large and well kept, with room for people to sit or just mill around. Best of all it’s a quiet store, so you can really hear the instruments when you play them. (Nearby Puapua Ukulele has a slightly larger selection but the space is LOUD and it’s tough to hear the character of the ukes you play.)The staff member who helped me was knowledgeable and attentive. He tuned every uke I wanted to try and when I had my choices narrowed down to two he played chords opposite me so I could hear the instruments juxtaposed. He answered all my questions and I ended up with an instrument I’m completely happy with, which is a big consideration when you’re making a high-end uke purchase.I own two ukes now: a mass production tenor that’s very nice but always felt a little bigger to me than a uke should. My new uke from The Ukulele store is a soprano and it’s a joy to play with a bright, cheerful sound. I’m not sure if I’ll ever add a 3rd uke to my collection but if I do I hope to do business with the Ukulele Store again.

The owner has a great “hook” to get you into this store. I walked in at 2:45pm on Thursday, April 12, 2018. I was the only customer the entire 1/2 hour I was in there...saw no clerk until I got to the back where he was sitting in a corner, bored silly it appeared...no hello, no welcome, no aloha...he just looked at me. I asked about the free Uke lessons, he nodded “yes”. I asked if he had one this afternoon, he nodded “no”. I asked about the instruction books mentioned on the website, he indicated that he didn’t think there were any on the shelf...same for the CD’s supposedly made by the owner. Nor did he get up to look! I browsed thru the Uke books and chose 3, with absolutely no help from the clerk. When checking out, I asked if I needed to make an appointment for the 10:30am lesson tomorrow. He said, “No, just come on in for the 10:30am or the 4:30pm lesson. But it’s not really much...just a 10 minute thing where I show you how to hold the Uke and how to strum. That’s it. You can learn that from these books you’ve chosen.” So I asked again, “So you have one this afternoon at 4:30?” He said, “Yes.” I just walked out amazed. If you’re a beginner at the Uke, my advice...don’t even think about this store!!

FREE LESSONS, Lie almost.After teaching C and C 7 for about 15 minutes, if you know afterwards, you pay for it.

Wide selection of ukuleles-different styles and colors, different sizes (eg kids, soprano, tenor, baritone, concert and other sizes) and can also get music books.

Very friendly. Got starter kit. Have free lesson

Nice ukulele store, with something for every taste and pocket

Wow! Beautiful store and worst customer service of all time, probably of my life! So much so I had to write my first negative neview ever! I’m a pianist and shopped for some of the nicest pianos and never receive condescending attitude from any piano or music store for that matter! If this store is trying to embody the ukelele spirit then you would thing its an intrusment reserved for rich snob collector or virtuoso (no in between). The clerk was so rude, not just to us but everyone it’s actually astonishing he has a job! I bought the ukalele because I didn’t have time to look for another store but if you do have time please LOOK for another store...with people that are cool and respect your passion, interest, etc.. for this beautiful instrument!

True to its name, cute little place

They sell me a second hand CD with vinyl price and say this is final sale

Great little store with tons and tons of Ukuleles!!

Dudes legit
