Mele Ukulele, Wailuku

I stopped by the Wailuku store and checked out the beautiful Mele Ukuleles. I didn't end up purchasing anything, but met the owner and she told me about the history of the store and answered any questions I had. The young man working there (Skylar IIRC) was helpful and played the different ukuleles I was interested in so I could hear the sound from someone who could actually play well. (I cannot) Will definitely be back to buy one on my next visit to Maui. (BTW, the Paia store is larger and also very good)

I bought a Koa Tenor and a Mango double hole Concert ukelele. I love how both distinct sounds they produce. Hand carried the Tenor back to Chicago and had them ship the concert. Shipment was quick and packaging was good that I received my ukulele in perfect shape. Mahalo very much Annie Tran, Arlie Asiu (greatest uke teacher 😉) , Mike and Cheryl Rock(owners) for the hospitality and service.
