Ukulele translates as the "jumping flea." Go figure. The uke is going through another surge of popularity. We carry a wide assortment from beginner's to highly stylized ukes for the advanced player.

The ukulele started in Hawaii after Portugese sailors brought smallish guitars to the islands in 1879. Arriving on the mainland for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, the uke has never lost its appeal and is as popular now as ever, both for a great introductory instrument for kids to a challenging instrument for virtuosi.

We have ukes for every budget and DVDs and instruction books to get you started.
