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.)
