    I am the proud owner of a KoAloha concert Ukulele and it is beautiful! KoAloha Ukulele's have a unique sound and apart from how gorgeous they look, that is the reason I bought a KoAloha!

    That was unexpectedly amazing. I love playing the ukulele. I will no longer play or read a critic’s take on a ukulele. They do not realize the sweat and passion that goes into creating this instrument.

    Noah, I am so impressed and inspired by you. Your passion is exactly like what your grandfather has put into the ukuleles he has built from day one. It’s that passion that gives KoAloha ukuleles their “soul”………….I hope one day to own a ukulele that you personally built for me!

    Interesting video. It's amazing how all the steps have been simplified and in some cases almost automated. Seems odd to me that in a video on making ukuleles, the background music is by instruments other than an ukulele until the very end...

    Beautiful instruments. I know that I will never be able to afford one. Now that I see all the work to make an expensive ukulele, I see why they are so expensive. I'm amazed that other companies can produce a "poor" quality ukulele so cheaply.

    How can I get my hands on one of those KoAloha t-shirts? I looked online without success.

    So they basically glue everything up with wood glue. Im surprise that it will stick forever without getting loose.

    The youngest worker in a Hawaiian shop is 18. Hell in China by 18 you’d be the floor manager. I think they start about 10.
