These are the go-to guys if you want expert advice on musical instruments! They are very honest and won\u2019t sell you something you can\u2019t count on. Excellent repairs, very friendly professional staff and owner! I won\u2019t go any place else on the Big Island they really are that good.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

These guys know whats up! If you want to rent or buy a quality instrument this is the spot. The people who work there and the owner are truly awesome and knowledgeable. Go here 1000000%<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Best place on island for drummers <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They have knowledgeable staff and usually have what I\u2019m looking for. If not, they give referrals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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\u2019t know what I said or did, but it was clear that he didn\u2019t value my time or wallet. I wasted a lot of time and he lost a sale.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Such a great store!! We didn\u2019t want the cheap ABC version but also couldn\u2019t spend $1k. We were able to find a beautiful turtle carved one for under $300. They tuned it and gave us a nice cloth case. Highly recommend!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Fun store, helpful staff. They had just what I was looking for!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Absolutely the best experience getting a new Ukelele. I\u2019m a fairly new player and Dolly was sweet, helped me find a size I loved and was so helpful and kind.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a Ukelele definitely stop by here. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019m 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 \u201cSanta?\u201d From Macy\u2019s, I respect the customer service.<\/p>\n

I ended up going to Music Exchange.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Small store, mostly low-end ukes, limited selection of accessories. Good for those looking at getting into ukulele. The gentleman that was selling the ukes said he doesn\u2019t play ukulele so you may get the same basic info that you can research online yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Huge disappointment. Purchased a ukelele this summer. Clerk made a big deal of tuning it for my daughter. We got it home, took it to a professional string educator and have been told it\u2019s simply for looks. It\u2019s poorly made, so there\u2019s no way to fix it or tune it. The store should have told us this was just for decoration.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Do not shop here! This man only sells made in China\/Asia etc. ukes. Thou will happily tell you that they are \u2018Island made, hand crafted by a lady down the road.\u2019 This is a lie. Do not trust this shop, over priced tourist trap!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Doesn\u2019t seem to exist anymore. Store is vacant. No idea if they\u2019ve moved somewhere else or just another COVID casualty.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
