A new arrival at the Shops at Wailea, Mele Ukulele is not new to Maui. They have been in business building professional-quality ukuleles, for over 20 years, and their original retail store locations has been at the same spot in Wailuku for over 17 years. Without doubt, they have become the most established manufacturer of ukuleles on Maui, by focusing exclusively on the ukulele and striving to offer the best possible quality at very reasonable prices! Just about any local islander will tell you that Mele is the best place to buy an Uke, as will Maui Time Magazine, Yelp!, and concierges all over.
Mele ukuleles have become famous worldwide. From luau shows in Tokyo, to hula performances in Germany and Switzerland, to Warren Buffet’s shareholder meetings here in the USA, you will see Mele ukes doing the job for which they are designed, which is to look good, sound great, and be easy and richly rewarding to play. (Warren plays a Mele, as does Oprah, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar, Steve Miller, Henry Kapono, Uluwehi Guerrero, Mick Fleetwood, HAPA, and a surprising number of the world’s most famous people.
Because of our new location and upscale clientele, we have added to our inventory the Kanilea brand of fine, top-quality Hawaiian koa ukuleles from Oahu. We will be carrying at least one other exclusive Hawaiian brand in the near future. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for new developments.
