I came on here, as James Horner (composer of Titanic, Avatar, etc.) used "Pu'ili Sticks" in his action cue for the, "Master Alarm" scene from the film, "Apollo 13." Interesting! As a composer/conductor myself, I am always up for learning about new instruments.

I'm so glad I found your videos! I haven't used pu'ili in over 25 years and forgotten quite a bit. Mahalo piha!

My Army father was stationed in Hawaii in the mid-1970’s, and I was sooo lucky to take hula lessons then (I was in 5th grade), and dance regularly with our group in Oahu. I still have my pu’ili…and some other things. I’ve never heard the tips of how to store them. I’m going to put cardboard tubes on them, and make a bag very soon. This was such a great video. I’m enjoying your videos, and having fun doing some hula again with your videos… at my now 60 years old. Mahalos. This makes me want to go through the photos I have from that time so I can see my teachers again through those photos. 🤙

[@iHulaHawaii]

Love this! Mahalo for sharing.

Thank you, from dance group Ohana from the netherlands

[@iHulaHawaii]

Are you a halau?

[@emmablade82]

Mahalo for the info on storage! I am planning on joining a halau if I pass auditions!

[@atetepunahele4222]

Aloha and mahalo for your wonderful video. I would like to see more video on how the puili actually follows the rhythm of a song, the different counts and hits and combining story to the puili.

[@dorisdittmer7750]

I would love to see a dance using these.

[@findingdisney9016]

I really love your channel! I’m a Hawaiian dance teacher and I learn so much from you!

[@cassieknight9758]

Aloha, I really like this a lot. Unfortunately, I do not own a set of pu'ili. I may get one in the near future but I'm not sure yet. I do have the ipu and a set of ili'ili. I just recently received an uli'uli for my birthday back in July. I look forward to the time when you do you show us how to play the uli'uli. I love all of the things you're doing so far.

aloha lynn ... in indonesia there is no ipu but there are a lot of bamboo but i will not give up looking for ipu

[@manuelahamm8948]

A hui hou and Aloha until next week :-)

beautiful

[@girltriesgames]

One of my pu'ili is very open on top, is there a way to reshape it back closed again? Mahalo!

[@mrs.fishmusic1794]

Where can I buy the child sized pu'ili?

[@blockedblock5203]

How might one fix a rattly puʻili stick (splinters are too far apart) or one where the splinters come together too tightly?

[@iHulaHawaii]

I think it may be better to just get a new pair. Donʻt think these are "fixable" as they are bamboo.

[@Sleepewalker]

This are traditionally used only by woman? I ask because I'm writing a book and I want to be accurate 😅❤

[@iHulaHawaii]

Both!

[@808grapplemonkey]

Am I the only one to have gotten lickens for using these as swords as a small kid?

[@iHulaHawaii]

Hilarious!
