thats awesome, ive jammed with both of those guys, (especially larry) in their stores when i went to Kaui in the Summer. Larry really has a great take on music and the ukulele itself and we really enjoyed listening and playing off each other. All in all i think Kaui has great ukulele stores if you really want ukulele at its' most natural state and players that really know what they are talking about. I suggest Larry's Music stores to anyone in Kaui!

what about strings? I have seen black and white and am not sure what either is made of but wondered what the difference in strings make. Do you know?

I just got back from Kauai yesterday and picked up a Washburn Ukele from Costco for $100 – I took it to local Ukulele store outside of Poipu and met a great guy named Joe that sold me an upgrade in strings. I now have a great sounding uke for $110 and I know if I am not happy at any time, I can always return it to Costo. Thanks for the clip.

You can get really great “old” ukes on ebay for around $50-$100. I’ve gotten 2 solid mahogany ukuleles for around $50 each so far. I haven’t been able to find a uke under $200 that sounds as good as my 50′s Silvertone. Do some research, save some money, and own a little bit of history you can play!
