Home -- Instruments -- Ukes

Tex knows ukes. We've been selling quality ukuleles since we 1st opened 11 years ago & that tradition continues. Back then there were precious few choices for decent, affordable instruments & now the market is flooded with many excellent choices. We've had to narrow it down to just a few that we especially like.

We always have a few dozen ukuleles ranging from $50.00 up. 

New Ohana Ukes have arrived as of 27 May 2010.  These Ukuleles are a tremendous value for the money.  Don't you owe it to yourself to have a little uke fun?

FLUKE, LOPRINZI, KIWAYA, OHANA, GOLD TONE, MARTIN, & VINTAGE. Too many ukuleles to list so call us if you're looking for something special. Keep in mind that we are only dealers for the brands mentioned & we cannot order other brands. We are happy to order any instrument we don't have in stock from these makers.

LoPrinzi Ukuleles. Played by Ohta-San & Lyle Ritz ( LoPrinzi Guitars have been played by Segovia!), we believe that LoPrinzi ukuleles are not only a superlative instrument, but also an outstanding value when you compare features to other US makers. Augie LoPrinzi built his 1st guitar in 1958 & today, working with just his daughter Donna, maintains a proud tradition & standard of excellence. Completely hand made in Clearwater, Florida. Augie LoPrinzi has helped noted luthiers Bob Benedetto, & John Buscarino among many others & is considered  a founder of modern luthery.                                                                                                                  In Japan, where the ukulele is held in extremely high regard, LoPrinzi ukuleles are considered the best of the best & Augie LoPrinzi is revered as the modern Stradivari of the ukulele. Be among the fortunate few who own & play these wonderful & distinctive instruments.                                                              Check out all of the LoPrinzi models through the Kiwaya USA website:                      www.kiwayaukulele.com

    VINTAGE UKULELES:

Wendell Hall "Red Head" soprano.  Made in Chicago by Regal of all solid figured koa. Considering that this lovely was born in the late 1920s- early 1930s it's in excellent condition & completely crack free. Original friction pegs were replaced with newer tuners. Plays & sounds great.  $250.00 w/case

Wendell Hall "TV Tenor". circa 1920s-1930s by Regal of Chicago. Not really a tenor by today's standards; more like a concert. Solid Adirondack spruce top with birch or maple back & sides & a "D" shaped sound hole, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard & bridge. Overall excellent condition, free from any cracks with nice action & robust tone with good intonation. Looks like the back braces are missing but there is no distortion at all on the back & it seems quite stable & stiff. I really don't feel like there is any need to go in there & replace them Top bracing is all tight & clean. $175.00

!1950s Harmony Soprano with OSSC solid mahogany construction featuring injection molded fret board and neo-deco graphics.  This is a real sweetie from the mid 20th century which looks and sounds wonderful.  $100.00
