If you are looking to get into ukulele, or you’re a diehard Uke player, this store is for you. Ric is a welcoming and helpful guy, and the store is beautiful. Wall to wall ukuleles is simply a heavenly experience! I have purchased several ukes there, and I have always been happy with the price and the quality of the instruments, gear, and other accessories.
THE SHOP IS ON THE LEFT CORNER NEAR THE PARKING LOT! Very specialized shop for ukulele players.Better than Guitar Center, in my opinion. Lots of high-end models/brands, accessories, and learning material.Pretty much everything you need and a little more to get you started or to improve.I walked in planning to purchase a 5 or 6 string tenor ukulele But walked out with a Kala Baritone. Amazing tone and projection. It was the sound I was looking for.Before my purchase, I tried out a few 6 strings tenors and then a super tenor, and then a few costing over $1,000. He helped me with my searching process and made excellent recommendations.Highly recommended 5/5Thank you Hale Ukulele!Cant wait for COVID to be over so I can become more involved in the ukulele scene.
Awesome place with Ukes from beginner to professional. Ric is super nice and knowledgable and takes his time to explain anything you want to know. My only question is: when will my fingers stop being numb?
Hale Ukulele is a real gem of an ukulele store! They carry a vast array of ukuleles ranging from beginner friendly to high end professional. Anything youre looking for you can find here. But where Hale Ukulele really shines is the staff & customer service. The owner Ric is incredibly welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. I came in for just a look around and to check the place out while visiting my hometown, and left with a really cool Hale Uke shirt, some stickers, an Ohana shaker and a lot of really great tips from Rick about local ukulele groups and the online uke community. I cant recommend Hale Ukulele highly enough. If youre looking for your first ukulele or another to add to your collection, Rics got it all, plus the knowledge and aloha to go along with it!!
Worth a 2 Hour drive from the orange county area and endure traffic. Ric is a great upstanding, and helpful person. Great selection of ukes. very helpful and friendly service. Laid-back atmosphere in the spirit of aloha. Like a uke shop should be. Mahalo Ric. If you’re in the area stop in and check it out.
Ric was amazing. I chose a tenor uke that i really liked and he recommended some things to help really make it my own. He added bumps for a strap and pointed out some custom made ones that i fell in love with right away. He also let me try playing a few of the more rare ukuleles while he worked. Beautiful selection of instruments and gear paired with great customer service. So glad i came here instead of guitar center. Thanks!
This is a neat place! I came in for a simple one string replacement and not only did they replace it but they also showed me how to do it myself if I ever needed to. If you let them they will give you some pretty great advice and tips on any ukulele interest you might have from classes to models and strings and such. Their parking lot can be tricky to find so when you’re near drive carefully.
What a fun ukulele store. Pleasant atmosphere, helpful and a place just to hang out with people of like mind. The store has the best selection of ukuleles in town from economical to really high-end instruments. A must place to go if you love ukuleles.
Took my Kamaka tenor $1300 new there to see what they would give me and they offered me $200,might as well have just slapped me in the face but they are running a business i get it i geuss
Took my dads Martin Uke here to see if the guy had any info on it. I just wanted info as it only has the Martin logo, and made in Pennsylvania on it. So he pompously dumps a huge Martin serial # book, then after much frustrated page turning he comes to the conclusion Id already reached, no serial #, its a mystery. Then since he had no idea what Martin Ukulele it was he tried to lowball appraise the instrument, $1500 less than my dad was quoted. I wouldnt go back to this store the owner is one Crazy G!
Supper nice place! Sales guy very knowledgeable. He helped me figure out which instrument was right me.
This is an AMAZING PLACE!!! I bought my pono ukulele her and the owner is the nicest guy in the world. You can just simply go in there and play whatever ukulele your heart desires. Then again has UNBEATABLE prices on the ukuleles so trust me!!! Go to this place!!! If its to far it worth the drive I promise!!
Brought in my instrument for some setup and new strings. Ric was beyond helpful and the prices were great. Highly recommend.
