Music shopping in Honolulu & Waikiki

  1. A

    Kamaka Hawaii

    Dozens of shops sell cheap plastic and wood ukuleles around Waikiki and Chinatown. But this legendary instrument maker near Restaurant Row specializes in the real thing: handcrafted ukuleles made on Oʻahu, with prices starting around $500. In business since 1916, its signature instrument is a 'pineapple' ukulele with an oval-shaped body that produces a less twangy sound.

    International Market Place

    The International Market Place has all the kitschy, tacky souvenirs you ever wanted, spread among a hundred stalls under a sprawling banyan tree in central Waikiki.
