Kalei's musical spirit shines brightly! Good luck with your Oli" ukuleles

Yes, and thank you!

[@mikek4708]

So stoked Kalei went along on the trip as you guys chatted about this in your podcast. Wow, them inlays are a piece of Art. They sound lovely Andrew, new song for new Uke 👌. Take care and safe journeys. Thanks to owner for taking the time to explain their history, always fascinated and gives provenance to how the luthiers homed their skills. Have a great week.

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Yeah so glad he came! Thanks Mike!

OMG! Amazing vid and beautiful playing by Kalei! And so much awesome stuff I spotted on the 'Oli ukulele--sunburst 🤯 and the EXTREME detail in those inlays?? Not to even mention the lattice bracing and tone or beauty of the thing! Amazing to meet some of the team from Genta working at the 'Oli luthier workshop! S U A R! So dashing, what a genta-leman! I just got into some of his music recently and it reminded me a lot of the album Sino by Cafe Tacvba, one of my favs! Dreamy kind of psychedelic tones, love it. The team over in Java seems so chill, it's so apparent yall have a great relationship and that there is aloha in their craft and love in their instruments. My love back to all of you!

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Yer so cool! Thank you so much. Yes, the team over there is truly a blessing.

[@gyanissimo]

Kaila you are a great musician. 👏Thanks for sharing. C‘ya Gyani / Munich

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Thank you!

[@scrambledeggspdx]

I clocked Kalei in at at least Mach 5! My god! I think that's not actually sunburst, that's the left over scorch marks from Kalei playing each of those instruments, yowza

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

🤣I know right

[@markandaudge]

Awesome stuff guys I could watch and listen to this all day.

[@Boston_Matt]

Can’t say enough good things about my Pono. These luthiers are top-notch. The ‘Oli ukes look and sound great. Although we know Kalei could play a pineapple or a cigar box and it would sound great!

[@hands_on_lanzon]

That cedar/ebony sound! Oooohweee! 🥰 Love the video, but what's up with some HMS foodie vlogs?! 😉

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

Thx Chris! Oh man, I started to but it's more fun to eat than film and the food was too good! 🤤

[@judynpeterjones3307]

Wonderful, sublime sounding instruments!

[@ronats]

Gossshh, I live near Bandung and I just missed once in a lifetime chance to meet Kalei 😭

[@sonofrat]

Thank you for sharing. Where can these instruments be found in Hawaii?

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

They will be at our store, The Ukulele Site, soon!

[@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye]

Finding out about 'Oli ukuleles now is like discovering Stradivarius violins in Italy in the late 1660s. (too arcane a reference?)

[@vicentearkangel8352]

...and very cool video!

[@HawaiiMusicSupplyTUS]

🙏🏼 mahalo!

[@jardelnogueirapereira8921]

Se bem que alguém do Brasil poderia importar alguns modelos.
