Are your instruments made in Hawai'i?
Yes, all of our instruments are built here at our shop in Kane'ohe on the Island of O'ahu. We use only solid wood materials (no veneers or plywood) and have built great relationships with the best instrument suppliers all over the world. We do everything in our shop except for the tuning keys, which are made by Grover Musical Products, strings that come from Hilo Strings, fret wire that comes from Stewart McDonald (guitar supply company) and our Mother of Pearl/Paua Abalone, which comes from Australia. From initial cut, to final hand rubbing/buffing and final set up are all done right here in our shop. So when we say, "our instruments are built in Hawai'i", we mean right here in our shop. We do not receive wood parts from all over the world, assemble an instrument and stamp it with "Made in Hawai'i".
