This is a bass uke (that's right, a bass uke tuned the same as an upright: E-A-D-G) made by MIKE CHOCK. The back and sides are Norfolk pine (very beautiful indeed) and the top is Englemann spruce. Do check out the rope binding. This instrument, still turning heads because of its sound, newness and portability, MUST be heard to be believed! You'll be astounded. I recommend you follow the development of the bass uke closely. Thanks especially to the UKULELE GUILD OF HAWAII, bass ukes have a distinctively bright future.

This tenor uke personally handcrafted by Eric Devine has Brazilian rosewood back and sides with 100 year old cedar top. Do check out Eric's work with the inlays. As beautiful as this instrument looks (how 'bout that back!!!!), its sound is astonishing. I've yet to hear better!!!! I maintain a unique relationship with luthiers whose work I embrace ------- when making me another instrument, I always ask (and they always respond accordingly) that it be better than the one they made for me previously. I play these ukes so that I get to know them and experience how the luthier is developing, then make them available to YOU for YOUR enjoyment. This way, everybody grows!!!!

This is a FANTASTIC instrument!!! Made by Eric Devine, it is a six-string (the double courses are the two lower-pitched strings) baritone with world-class curly koa back and sides and Adirondack spruce top. If you like jazz, you'll love the warm, mellow sound of this work of art. Nice job, Eric!!!!

This too is an Eric Devine inspired six-string baritone, similarly coursed. The back and sides are Milo and the top 100 year old cedar. I'm VERY impressed with its sound!!! Having received other ukes around the same time frame as this one, I ignored it for a few weeks. When I finally played it again, it ROARED at me and wouldn't let me put it down for a LONG time. Accordingly, I'm going to use it in concert this week.

I was in Eric Devine's shop one day when he asked me if I wanted to see what Sapelli looked like. It wasn't five minutes later that I ordered this guitar from him. You can see for yourself how beautiful this wood turned out. The neck is also Sapelli and the top is 100 year old cedar. The sound is INCREDIBLE and improving. This classical guitar with radiused fingerboard is best voiced in Drop-C ki ho'alu.

This "Pegasus" guitar made by Bob Gleason provides a hauntingly beautiful ki ho'alu sound ------- indeed, world class!!!!! But do check out the looks and workmanship ----- simply state-of-the-art!!! This guitar has mango back and sides and a redwood top. Bob, thanks for this very artistic contribution to wonderful nahenahe sound. I hate to part with this instrument but it really needs to be put in circulation for someone else to enjoy also. Please make more!!!!
