Arguably the most sought after ukulele around, Martin ukuleles are some of the finest ukuleles in the world. Considered a top acoustic guitar maker, C.F. Martin & Co. was established in 1833, however, it was in 1917 that the company published their first ukulele pamphlet announcing its newest instrument. They developed five series categorized as style 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5 (there is no style 4, and there’s no confirmation of what might have happened). Ukulele from this era are considered vintage and can fetch a very high price with collectors.Yvonne de Villiers is the visionary designer for Luna, and co-founder.

A family-based company located on the island of O’ahu, Kanile’a is our second of the “Four K’s” brands from Hawaii. Kanile’a means “joyful sound” in Hawaiian. The company is led by Master Luthier Joe Souza and his wife Kristen, who is head of sales and accounting for the brand. Their handcrafted ukuleles are the standard, and the company is engaged in every step of the process. From the planting or acquiring of responsibly sourced wood, inspecting and choosing the most beautiful cuts of wood during milling, and the drying and seasoning of the wood in house, Kanile’a oversees the instrument’s creation from start to finish. If you are shopping around, the first thing to determine is how much you are planning to spend. Solid wood ukuleles are generally superior to laminate or solid wood tops ukes, but come at a higher price and require more care and maintenance. The age and/or experience level of the player of the instrument may also influence which brand and ukulele are best. For young kids, high durability may be desired, while a professional is going to look for the best sound quality and materials, and even extra “bells and whistles”.
