Love going there I learn a lot about ukuleles from him. His instruments are beautiful as we as beautiful sounding.
Sonny and his son Duane were friendly and showed me some great ukes. Now i have two ukes from Sonny D. Absolutely amazing sound.
I wandered into his shop many years ago. Late 80’s. I was playing my little old Kamaka to lead worship at Sunday school with the kids. I told Sonny that, and he went in the back and talked to his wife. Being that they are both Christians too. They agreed to sell me an 8 string and put a pickup in it for me, and a case too. At a serious discount. It is the most beautiful sound when played alongside guitars. I love this ukulele. It my most precious instrument. Mahalo Sonny D, and Mrs. I grow happier every day I play your 8 string. Ever since that memorable day met your wife and you.
, I’m not sure why but the quality isn’t as good as it used to be I have several Sonny D ukulele I want to go buy a new one but I couldn’t find one that was a very good quality the price was more expensive then the ones I bought before but the quality was definitely lacking . Ended up with a kamaka…
This guitar center is hands down the best one I’ve been to. They had a huge selection of guitars and the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to help me find exactly what I was searching for. Great options. Really no need to look elsewhere.
Good people and prices
The people who worked there were very nice and helpful
Guitars galore. Disturbingly small orchestra section.
Commercial…… as poop…… It’s just an emergency place…these coconuts are so off the mark of knowledge.. but the public won’t know…the Players will…… Felt like I was in a walmart, not a music store…..And the lines of BS were pretty funny to listen too…..
Poor customer service… instead of trying to help, told to speak to manufacturer on missing item in box. They apparently don’t want to help or stand by a product that they sell, even though I paid extra for warranty.
Tried to buy a ukulele and they tried to sell it without the case that was supposed to come with it. When I asked about the case, they couldn’t find it. Will take my money elsewhere from now on.
0-2 on purchases at this store. Not a good first impression.
Well I was being helped by one individual who really couldn’t tell me much about the product I was going to buy. So he told me to wait while he gets someone with a little more expertise. So I did. Didn’t expect to wait for 30-45 minutes. Walked out and went to another music store and made a large purchase there instead. Oh well, it happens…

We looked for an instructor for my son to continue lessons and glad we found Ian. My son has shown growth and surprisingly continued interest. We believe it’s because of Ian. He doesn’t mind teaching music my son is interested in. We also receive weekly piano pieces/videos to watch and listen to.
Ian can be very accommodating and it’s a bonus the studio is just minutes away near Waikele shopping center.
Ian is simply the BEST! My 3 children have been taking lessons from Ian for the past 4 years. I love that he encourages his students to create music of their own right from the start. My kids love making up their own songs and having Mr. Ian add his own harmonies to it. I also love that he records their duets and sends them to me. He also sends out a weekly email with a piano piece that he teaches you about, then you can listen to it on youtube. My kids all have ADHD, and Ian has been so patient with them. We are very grateful to have such a great musician willing to teach our kids this valuable skill.
Ian is an excellent piano instructor. He’s worked with my grandson for several years. My grandson is always happy to have his lesson time. Ian is kind, patient and very comfortable with young people. He’s been punctual and his rates are more then fair.
My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Inspiration Studios for several years, and we love it here! Malama does a wonderful job teaching her how to utilize her voice to its fullest potential. Not only does my daughter grow in her ability to sing, she also grows closer to the Lord as a result of learning scriptures and worship songs. I strongly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a place to grow musically and spiritually.
Malama, you are truly a blessing! Your teaching and encouragement provide a positive environment for all. We recently moved to the mainland and decided to continue our lessons with Inspiration Studios. It was easy transitioning to online lessons. It has been a blessing for me and my child. We look forward to seeing you each week. Sincere gratitude to Inspiration Studios.
We absolutely love Inspiration Studios. My kids have been taking piano, ukulele and voice for a few years now and have loved every minute. Auntie Malama is the best. She is so loving, thoughtful and dedicated to Christ and her students. So blessed to have found this place.
