The base price for our ukuleles is $1600 (2010 pricing). We’ll be adding a ukulele price list very soon. Thank you so much for your interest and for writing in! We’re very excited about them.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. The Waimea can be ordered as a nylon string or steel string guitar. Each has its special qualities!

Comment on Waimea slack key guitar complete! by Jefferson Slacker

Now that the Waimea is home, I am completely in love with this guitar. It has all of the sound qualities that I wanted for my slack key playing: deep, warm, resonant bass, strong mid-range, and crisp, clarion treble. In fact, throughout the broad spectrum of the various slack key tunings, the notes are all crisp and well-articulated. Undamped, the notes ring out almost forever. The guitar feels very solid despite its light weight, yet plucking just one note makes the entire instrument resound. Finally, and importantly for me, the Waimea creates an overtone-rich aura that surrounds me while I play. I can’t get enough. James, you are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wow, this is a gorgeous piece of work. That is one of the prettiest rosewood fretboards I have ever seen. Seems like the shop has been “on fire” recently!
