The wait is finally over! aNueNue's 1879 Nunes reproduction are now in store and waiting for new owners to take them home to play with them! Pictured here on the right are 4 very special pieces made entirely of solid Koa, even the nut and saddle are made from Koa. It features a flushed fretboard to body joint - a technique seldom employed by makers because of the difficulty in handcrafting but that was how Manuel Nunes made them in 1879 in Hawaii.
All four pieces (actually now only three are left!) have very unique tones although they are of the same specifications but they all sound fantastic. Sweet mid ranges, bright trebles, not too boomy on the low end. They are very loud for their size, with a resonance that carries, oh...what a joy to play! The feel is absolutely fantastic, very light-weight, well balanced with low action.
Light weight friction pegs (left) keep the tradition and look of a vintage uke but there's an added touch of modern technology in them. They are geared internally. Mike DaSilva swears by them and uses them exclusively on all his custom-ordered pieces. We love them because they keep in tune and are smooth as silk when tuning.
You simply have to come on down to our store to try them for yourself. Comes with its own custom hardcase.
And just in case you can't see yourself with one of these exquisite 1879 pieces (I just can't see why not), we have a whole range of aNueNue Custom Series that are just in. Mango wood, Flamed Maple, Koa, and Mahogany in all sizes and Fishman pickups on some of the concert and tenor models. All-solid wood construction and completely crafted by hand.
Do Uke have a heart? Our very own Singaporean home-grown fabulously talented and incredibly cute Ukulele Girls are organising a little fundraiser for an English School in Cambodia.

Exciting new product updates!
KoAloha Ukulele regarded as one of world's premier ukulele brands is now available at UM. Look out for the newest creations from Alvin "Papa KoAloha" Okami–the Pineapple Sunday (middle) and the Sceptre (not pictured here)–very fine pieces of collectible ukes. All KoAloha models are meticulously and lovingly crafted by hand and all models are made of full-solid Hawaiian Koa.
With a reputation for sound and quality, these ukes are a delight to play and to behold. It's no wonder famous artists like Herb Ohta Jr, Grammy Award winning producer Daniel Ho, Victoria Vox and many others choose to endorse KoAloha Ukuleles.
Available at our new store are more than 10 models. From the DVI 6-string and 6-string Imaikalani, we also have tenor, concert, pineapple, long necks and the little Noah.
aNueNue laminated models are back in stock!! All models of Lani, Papa, long necks...and the Banjo Uke are available now at our store. Limited quantities available and it's a long wait till our next shipment so get them while they're still sizzling!
aNueNue means rainbow in Hawaiian and these ukuleles are akin to that elusive pot of gold one finds at the end of the rainbow...depending on how you see it. Seriously, these amazing instruments will surprise you with their tone, design, playability and finish. The tone is warm, has a big voice and sustain is not compromised even on the higher registers. Laser-etched designs on the soundboard creates a very pretty ukuelele, which not only plays well (as the action is low), but also sounds and looks good.
The aNueNue Banjo Uke, tuned like an ukulele, sounds like a Banjo! This is one of the finest Banjolele we've seen so far, Flamed Maple neck, back and sides, Ebony fretboard and Remo Banjo Skin with brass hardware, it's a steal at the price we're selling it (too low to list here), it even comes with its own custom hardcase! Visit us to find out more and demo for yourself, you won't believe the infectious tone coming from this little fella. Click on the picture to view video of the banjo uke.
The Eleukes are back! These solid-body electric ukes are way cool, all models we currently stock come with an under-saddle pickup, a built-in headphone/speaker jack, and a MP3 input jack. What this means is a fully self-contained unit perfect for performance or quiet practicing into the wee hours of the night. It also means you can jam to your favourite tunes when you plug in your iPod. Imagine that!
There are even some acoustic/electric models available, and a cigar-shaped acoustic/electric. Looking for a jazzy f-hole cutaway or full body in sunburst tone? Look no further, we have them in stock now!
The revolutionary Kala U-Bas
s is going to rock the world BIG TIME! This ground-breaking short scale (20") bass produces the same pitches as a standard bass instrument and is tuned in traditional bass tuning EADG.
