Kumalae, Inlays, LOCALS: Ukulele Window Shopping

This week’s must have is one – oh, what the hell – both of these Kaumalae ukuleles: Kumalae 1, Kumalae 2.

It seems like there are an increasing number of ukes around with inlays on the soundboard. The most stylish has to be the Ana’ole. Ohana go for a floral design. This bocote wood ukulele keeps it’s show piece for the back. And this one is an all out cheese-fest.

LOCALS ukulele is a new name on me. They’re Hawaiian made and solid koa. They also claim to be the same quality as Kamaka and Martin at half the price. Hmmm…

If the name Tombo Ukulet isn’t reason enough to buy this, it also looks great.

If you want your Kala archtop to look even more like a Gretsch, get yourself one of these pickguards.

Classy Keech banjolele.
