This shop is adorable! There are so many useful things for a musician including high quality instruments, strings, accessories and more. I also love the cute mugs, stickers and bags! Support local small business.
Wonderful people and great service. Great selection of fine instruments. Instant connection and made me want to come back and I live in Dallas TX. So glad I stopped in. Thanks Gunner and crew.✌️❤️
Lovely store with a kind man who definitely knows what he’s talking about and can help with music needs on the spot. Kind service and repairs with beautiful inventory of high-end and inexpensive quality ukuleles, guitars, strings, T-shirts, and even beautiful art pieces. No need to go anywhere else.
Spent $20 on gas to arrive 30 minutes before close and found out they were already closed….an update on hours would be appreciated.
Great staff, they are incredibly helpful and know their stuff. Highly recommend Soundwave Music for folks who are brand new to music as well as the seasoned professionals!
IT’S LIKE GUITAR HEAVEN I WAS SHOOK
Knowledgeable and friendly!
Good prices, good variety of gear. Guitars and amps a great value. Hard to find, keyboards are a bit dated. Knowledgeable staff, fun atmosphere. Great place for musicians.
Friendly knowledgeable service, reasonable prices and a good selection!
Awesome owners
Visited the store yesterday to buy 2 ukuleles. There were 2 customers ahead of me. Staff spent ample time with those customers and I waited patiently. I appreciated the attention that was given to them and I was looking forward to the same treatment. After 50 minutes (yes, 50 minutes), it was finally my turn. After speaking to me for 5 minutes, he excused himself to talk to the customer who just entered the store. I was dumbfounded. After a couple of minutes, when it was apparent that he did not want to help me, I left. I don’t know what I said or did, but it was clear that he didn’t value my time or wallet. I wasted a lot of time and he lost a sale.

I’ve been to multiple ukulele shops on 3 islands and this is my favorite. I have a KoAloha which I purchased online and I love it. Music Exchange has many ukes in all price ranges including some really nice top end ukes. The salesperson was not pushy and really fun to talk with. He let me play several beautiful top end ukes which was a real treat. Their prices were as good or better than the prices online.
Great store. Hung out with Jeff and discussed Radiohead while my wife was next door getting a tattoo.
Super knowledgeable, Gavin & Chris..Change tuners or strings, great UKELELE stuff!

These guys usually have what I need and their prices are reasonable. Great repair shop as well.
I’ve been here twice. The first time I stood off to the side, but in view of the clerk. I stood there for at least 15 minutes, while 2 different customers were attended to. I wasn’t even spoken to.
The next time I went in to buy some finger picks. I was spoken to, or maybe grunted at, while the attendant restrung an electric guitar.
I’ve had enough.
Waited outside patiently for 30 minutes during an employee break. When the employee opened the shop again he told us to leave as soon as we stepped in. Giving no explanation, just saying “goodbye”.
Although the store supposedly opens at 10:30 AM on weekdays, I arrived to this store at 11 AM and no one was inside and the lights were off.

Absolutely the best experience getting a new Ukelele. I’m a fairly new player and Dolly was sweet, helped me find a size I loved and was so helpful and kind.
She helped me find a design in the color wood I loved and let me try a few sizes, tuned them, and let me see what fit I liked.
If you are looking for a Ukelele definitely stop by here. 🙂
A great souvenir stand, and they have a nice selection of decent, B grade, ukuleles. Their prices are fair, the instruments are lovely and more than adequate for all but serious musicians. Even they might choose one here for a knock-around, less than four figure player. Mahalo, from a 2018 buyer.
I’m a tourist, guitarist interested in a 6 string uke, so I stopped in this store. The man running the store was nice, and recommended another store in town. Much like the “Santa?” From Macy’s, I respect the customer service.
I ended up going to Music Exchange.
Doesn’t seem to exist anymore. Store is vacant. No idea if they’ve moved somewhere else or just another COVID casualty.
Do not shop here! This man only sells made in China/Asia etc. ukes. Thou will happily tell you that they are ‘Island made, hand crafted by a lady down the road.’ This is a lie. Do not trust this shop, over priced tourist trap!
