"This family-run luthier shop has been handcrafting world-renowned instruments since 1916. They are often made of koa, a native wood prized for its luminous, almost psychedelic wood grain patterns. The company's rich-toned ukes inspire beginners and maestros alike. The Ukulele Hall of Fame has already honored its first two generations, and two more are helping to keep the art alive at the Kamaka store and factory in Honolulu's up-and-coming Kaka’ako neighborhood. They offer free guided tours Tuesdays through Fridays at 10:30 a.m. Tip: Leave any strollers or bulky backpacks behind, as the hour-long walk-and-talk involves stairs and tight quarters."
