About Us
   Our dream of opening Ukulele Source
came true in September 2008. We also have

another business,Pumehana Productions
where we, along with our partner and good
friend Susie Kagami of Hawaii Music Live
produce and promote Hawaiian music
concerts,workshops, and private lessons with
legends like Herb Ohta,Jr, Ohta-San, George
Kahumoku, Jr, Keoki Kahumoku, and
Nathan Aweau. It was surprising how many
people would inquire about where they could
purchase a ‘ukulele.  So with the
encouragement and support of Susie, Herb, Jr and our other good friend, Jim Nagareda of
Nikkei Traditions, we opened our door on September 5, 2008.
We wanted more than just a ‘ukulele store.  We wanted a place where people could come in,
check out all the different styles, makers, and most importantly, be able to play them and
hear what they actually sound like before making a purchase.  We carry what we feel are the
best ‘ukuleles to fit any pocketbook.  A lot of research went into our final decision to carry
KoAloha, Kanile’a and Ohana ukuleles.  In addition, we are always interested to hear what
people want or need.  Just ask us!  If we don’t have it, we’ll see what we can do to get it for
you.  So, stop by our store and check out what we have, or come and just talk story!  We
are so grateful for all of the new friends we have made over the past few months, not only
the performers that we have come to know, but also our customers.
A big mahalo to Susie, Herb and Jim for making our dream come true.  Also, mahalo to
Rodney Takahashi of Ukulele Jams, our teacher and web designer for all he has taught us
over the past few years.
