Ohana Means Family: Why We’re Proud to Carry Ohana Ukuleles at UKE Republic

When you’ve been slingin’ strings and spreading ukulele joy as long as we have, you come to know the brands that really get it. Ohana Ukuleles isn’t just a manufacturer - we’d call them family.

Back in the early days, when UKE Republic was fresh on the scene in 2007 and Ohana was still shipping from Louis’s garage, we connected over a shared passion: offering players something more than just an instrument. We both believed in curating experiences, creating community, and carrying only the gear we’d be proud to hand to a friend.

Built on Aloha and Craftsmanship

Ohana doesn’t mess around when it comes to quality. From their vintage-inspired SK-28 soprano (a personal fave around here) to their forward-thinking bari-tenors and rare tonewood experiments, they strike a sweet chord between tradition and innovation. Donna has a soft spot for their pineapple models - especially that warm, glossy PKC-25G. And honestly? We don’t blame her.

Each Ohana uke that passes through our Pro Setup bench gets treated like a future heirloom, because that’s exactly what it could be. These instruments are built to sing now and last for generations.


More Than a Brand—They’re Uke Champions

One reason we’ve stuck with Ohana for so long? They show up. Festivals, community events, fundraisers - you name it. They sponsor, support, and cheer on the global uke scene like the proud aunties and uncles of the ukulele world. They listen to their dealers, too. (Even when we’re making last-minute orders or cracking bad jokes - shoutout to Ohana for the patience.)

Ukulele Anatomy & Sizes

Ukuleles Anatomy & Sizes When you mention ukuleles, most people think of the small standard soprano size. That's understandable since the Tin Pan Alley scene popularized this size during the first ukulele wave in the 1920s and 1930s. However, ukuleles come in a variety of sizes, each with its own unique characteristics and sound. The four main ukulele sizes are soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. Let's explore the anatomy of the ukulele and the different sizes available. Anatomy of a Ukulele  Body: The ukulele's central sound-producing part comprises the soundboard (top), back, and sides. Neck: The long, thin part of the ukulele that connects the headstock to the body. Headstock: The top part where the tuning pegs (tuners) are located. Tuners: Pegs used to adjust the tension of the strings, tuning them to the correct pitch. Nut: A small piece at the top of the fretboard that guides the strings and keeps them evenly spaced. Fretboard (Fingerboard): The surface on ...

In honor of its 10th anniversary, we proudly introduce the Romero Creations ʻEKOLU TINY TENOR —an enchanting tribute to the rich tapestry of global music. Echoing the Hawaiian word for "three," "Ekolu," this limited edition masterpiece pays homage to the harmonies resonating from instruments like the Sanshin of Okinawa and the balalaika of Russia. Crafted through the collaborative genius of Pepe Romero and Daniel Ho, this instrument embodies the essence of musical heritage from around the world.
