Pohaku Review
I own two of Peter’s ukuleles. If I could afford them I would own more. The first uke I bought from Peter was a curly mahogany with cedar top soprano. It is simply one of the best sounding musical instruments I’ve ever heard. I can play it side by side with any other good ukulele and everyone, including non ukulele players is impressed.
Peter also has a wonderful sense of fun. I think many of his instruments are visually both clever and lovely.

I just purchased a Pohaku concert 10 in Koa (I wanted a concert with a sound closer to a soprano but never cared for super sopranos). It is a very fine instrument. You can call him directly and he will help you get the Uke that would suit you. Every detail is how it should be and astheticly pleasing. They are expensive but not when you compare to other American made ukuleles. I also liked knowing that Peter actually made the instrument and not an apprentence.
