UKE Republic Ukuleles

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.

At UKE Republic, we ensure unparalleled performance with our Pro Setup, guaranteeing optimal sound and playability for every musician. Inspired by Daniel Ho's musical journey in Inner Mongolia, where the mesmerizing sound ...
