Now Carring Ko'olau Gold, `Alohi & Manaha Tenor `Ukulele Strings

Among the ukulele that Owen makes are a line of bass ukes. I played a few at the 2006 New York Ukulele Festival and they are amazing. You can believe the sound that comes from these.

Owen also designed the Kala UBass.

Mele Custom Mahogany Double-Neck Tenor

Highslide JS After numerous requests from Mele Ukulele customers, They've finally built this ukulele inspired by Jimmy Page's guitar! 8-string neck for strumming, 4-string for picking and soloing. The huge solid mahogany soundboard, back and sides give it a richness and resonance that's truly amazing! Ebony binding, bridge and fingerboard. Grover tuners. This is the ultimate uke for the player who has everything! Note; we sold the prototype (pictured) but we'll be building several this summer. The necks will be reversed; 4-string above and 8-string below. Check out the video for the production version played by Uncle Peter.
