At Amsterdam's Uke Boutique, you’ll find a charming selection of ukuleles, unique accessories, and enthusiastic lessons led by the delightful owner, Candace.
"Uke Can Too! Who knew you could buy a little string instrument for as little as €35, learn to play it in days and ramp up in weeks to performing in an urban orchestra? If you're looking for a laugh to go along with your live music, hit Amsterdam 's Uke Boutique, a canalside shop with a website that borrows a line from Beatle George Harrison to let us in on a little secret: "Everyone should have and play a uke. You can't play and not laugh." The small showroom stocks a wide range of ukuleles, from basic acoustic to concert, electric and designer models. You can also buy accessories, books, sheet music and handcrafted "ukalicious" straps, both in the shop and online. In addition to ukuleles, other small instruments are available, including harmonicas, flutes and melodicas. Both group and individual lessons are offered, for adults as well as children. The shop also plans ukulele workshops for parties and corporate team-building events. For a real laugh, order a whimsical, custom doll in the likeness of yourself or a friend, hand-crafted by The Uke Boutique's owner, who also operates Crazy Orphelia's Arts Emporium from inside her instrument shop. They're not cheap, but they sure are funny!"
Just had my first lesson with Candace and it was wonderful! I was craving for a structured approach to learning the ukulele and it was exactly what she gave me! Started with the absolute basics which was really what I needed. Can’t wait for the next lessons :)

This is the cutest little UKE shop! The owner of the shop (Candace) is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. During our visit we were offered a lot of great advice and informed that she even gives lessons. 5 stars all around!

The lessons with Candace where so much fun. I learned a lot in just a few lessons. It made me more motivated to practice at home too. I bought the cutest ukelele in her boutique and I take it everywhere with me! If you are searching for fun, and lessons from a very driven and sincere teacher, I would reccomend to take lessons at Ukeleleboutique!

We have really enjoyed working with Candace. We went to her store and she recommended a ukulele for my daughter. We ordered it and it arrived a few days later. We are now taking private lessons to continue her knowledge of the instrument. We did a few in person and now are doing them on Skype. It's working out great and we are very pleased. My daughter is 11 and declares it very helpful and she enjoys Candace's instruction a lot. Definitely recommend Candace and this store! She also does a really fun workshop on making wool sculptured animals. My kids really enjoyed it.

I'm so happy to have found Candice's shop!
I first tried to buy a bass use at a 'normal' shop, but found little service or expertise. Fortunately, Uke Boutique delivered.
I ordered my red Kala U-Bass, delivery was very fast.
It's great to have a local place with personal service. Check out this shop!

The Uke Boutique is a cozy little shop in the centre of town with a great selection of ukuleles, ukulele-accessories and. The owner, Candace Bloom is super nice and offers very good service. The shop is also a good place for learning how to play the ukulele, offering very affordable private lessons as well as lessons in small groups. Recommend!
