I bought one of these on my first trip to Hawaii on the first night while walking on Waikiki. It was the red one in the middle. It was a hit at the hotel for the rest of the vacation. Then I had it in my house for years, until finally giving it away. These are wonderful souvenirs.
Beautiful and musical. Good combo.
Aloha,

@ Emma – I’ve been tempted to buy one myself. I’ve even thought of including one in a give away. The problem I usually have is not enough room to bring it home since I’m light packer.
@ Keahi – a good combo, indeed!
Soooo beautiful! What a great holiday gift idea!
@ Ami – thanks!
What is the asking price for one? If it’s over 50.00 dollars, I can’t afford one. I would like very much to have one though.
Chuck — they cost about $20, but they’re really just for looks as they aren’t very good quality for playing. If you want a ukulele that sounds decent, you can pick one up starting at $40.
Thank you Sheila,I do have a Lauren SU30, that my parents bought me for Christmas, which I do play. I was just wondering how much these cost, as I would like a blue one, for my wall. I guess my next question, is, where do I send for one, and is there a website, or e-mail addy?
We took this photo from a ukulele shop at Aloha Tower Marketplace, but I know I’ve seen them in other places in Hawaii. I don’t recall the name of the shop.
I did a quick search on Amazon and a blue ukulele for $21.99 came up on the first page of results.
Thank you again Sheila. i will look into the one on Amazon.
Are these colorful ukulele’s still available? If so, where can I find them? I need several for a church project, quality playing is not necessary.
Thanks
The store that sold those closed a few years ago. We don’t know if/where else they might be sold.
