We visited both shops on Kauai-one near Poipu and the other in Kapaa. Great experience X2! These ukuleles are amazing and worth the money-they are well built and have an extraordinary sound quality. Also, my salesperson helped entertain my kids while I shopped-she played music for them and (4 and 2) and they loved it! I was playing my new soprano tonight with my now 3 year old and realized that I need to shop for another one\u2026. Thank you, Kamoa Ukulele<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Was excited to stop by and had purchased a ukulele for the 1st time at Kamaka in Honolulu 2 yrs prior. I let the owner know I was an amateur, and as I played, he assumed I\u2019d learned my strumming pattern on YouTube\u2026but I listen to the music I like and interpret as an artist. He told me about the free lessons he offers. I said, \u201cLet me try playing this song and you can tell me what to improve.\u201d He says, \u201cI don\u2019t need to hear it; I can tell you right now.\u201d I was enjoying playing and felt a bit disappointed. But I listened as he told me I was playing much too harshly, audiences do not like that, compared it to fingernails on a chalkboard, and told me as my audience it was basically terrible for him to listen to. I replied that he is like 2 feet away. I also agreed I could try softening my strumming, but his ex.of very soft, slow strumming did not fit the style of the song I was going for. I explained that, and he then told me that his dad had to leave the room b\/c of my harsh playing. I said, \u201cIf he needs to leave that is his opinion and doesn\u2019t offend me\u201d(although it did make me feel bad!) I teach piano students and can\u2019t imagine saying my husband had to leave the room b\/c of the way they were playing the piano!! I guess there\u2019s a reason the lessons are free! He could\u2019ve said something positive and nicely asked, \u201cWhat if you tried softening your strumming a bit?\u201d I would\u2019ve felt and responded totally differently. I was happy to take feedback but was there also for the enjoyment of trying out the instruments. This quickly dissipated through the interaction. He needs to work on his approach with a potential customer! I would never want to take lessons here, let alone purchase an instrument. Side note:, instead of starting out by explaining all the info about the instruments and knowledge, maybe could try asking what I\u2019m looking for in an instrument. I highly recommend Kamaka Hawai\u2019i, Inc. in Honolulu, because they treated me very kindly and respectfully.
\n*Response: His answer is unnecessarily scathing and of course refuses to take any responsibility or acknowledge my honest experience.
\nA. Don\u2019t talk about my daughter; barely worth replying to; she was not crying because she wanted to try a ukulele. Has cried on and off during our trip when tired, and we both try to console her. Sad he\u2019s even trying to bring up parenting to throw in our faces! Wow\u2026no we were not looking for ukulele lessons for her but thanks for the offer. I told her about egg rolls\u2026
\nB. There was 1 lady worker in the room who was quiet, and she was actually grooving a little after he walked out for a bit ;), & maybe 1-2 other people milling around, so I\u2019d hardly say I was \u201centertaining\u201d the store. As any musician can understand, we enjoy going in to a music store and trying out instruments for learning and enjoyment..
\nC. He has no understanding or care about the frustration that I\u2019m expressing here. I feel like he\u2019s not used to sharing knowledge then listening to a slightly different response. He drives his point home at the expense of a person\u2019s feelings. He wants to paint me as an obnoxious person who was there to brag on my talents and annoy everyone, though I berated my skills sev. times, then he says all these ppl walked out who weren\u2019t even there. Keep in mind this was a short episode: I was talking with him, trying to figure out some chords, playing a couple short songs in a virtually empty store, until my terrible playing completely emptied it?
\nD. This was not an official \u201clesson\u201d to my knowledge. I was there to try out instruments and be free to do so \/ask for input
\nE. I took his advice by playing a song again more quietly, to which he said it was much better, so again his story is not adding up. Also, at that point, I was the one who showed myself to the door!
\nF. I was told this is common behavior for store owners\/employees on the island, but we did have some nice experiences! I\u2019m sure others have enjoyed this store, but I did not, and feel it is worthwhile to share my experience, even if it means I\u2019m berated vs. validated once again in return.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
