I wandered into his shop many years ago. Late 80’s. I was playing my little old Kamaka to lead worship at Sunday school with the kids. I told Sonny that, and he went in the back and talked to his wife. Being that they are both Christians too. They agreed to sell me an 8 string and put a pickup in it for me, and a case too. At a serious discount. It is the most beautiful sound when played alongside guitars. I love this ukulele. It my most precious instrument. Mahalo Sonny D, and Mrs. I grow happier every day I play your 8 string. Ever since that memorable day met your wife and you.

I had a custom Super Concert made 9 years ago. The action, quality of sound and overall finish was outstanding. I currently own 7 Sonny D Ukuleles. Each of the Ukulele was made to fit me. The price was affordable too. Mahalo Sonny and Duane

Repaired my ukuleles with care and quality, pricing was always reasonable. And done in a timely manner. I will never take my Kamakas to the Kamaka store again! And when my moopunas are ready for their own ukus their first will be a Sonny D ukulele!

Love going there I learn a lot about ukuleles from him. His instruments are beautiful as we as beautiful sounding.

Great ukes. Very personal attention to his customers.

, Im not sure why but the quality isnt as good as it used to be I have several Sonny D ukulele I want to go buy a new one but I couldnt find one that was a very good quality the price was more expensive then the ones I bought before but the quality was definitely lacking . Ended up with a kamaka...

I think its a custom craftsmanship class since I think of general shop. It is a place where the beginner is burdened to buy but it was a visit that did not waste a lot of fun,
