“I would like to commend you guys on more great sounding and quality ukes. Each sounds great! I was particularly impressed with the LCD-C and the LFM-S. The LCD-C has a great tone and balance, the rosewood and spruce combination sounds amazing a very sensitive sounding instrument. The LFM-S is what I like to call the ‘jazz guitar’ approach to uke. The spruce top and maple sides and backs put out an awesome tone, very punchy, clear and bright. And the CK-B is the ‘biggest sounding baritone I have ever played.
So far every Lanikai uke I have played is a winner, consistent great quality and great tone. You guys rock. I am proud to be using these ukes on and in all of my books.
Thanks,
Drew Andrews

“Since 1999, I have played many, many different brands of ukuleles, comparing each one to the hand made custom koa ($2000.00) ukulele my husband gave me. As a ukulele music teacher, I wanted my students to have a ukulele with perfect sound, excellent quality, at an exceptional value. I can truly say, with all honesty and sincerity, that all Lanikai Ukuleles not only meet my expectations but are the WORLD'S MOST PERFECT UKULELES IN EVERY WAY!
I have played all the Lanikai Ukulele series and sizes, including the beginner soprano at $49.99, which all my students use in my classes as they begin studying ukulele at Bellarmine University. All the members of the Louisville Ukulele Association Unlimited (LUAU) orchestra play Lanikai ukuleles when recording with me on my CDs. With my experience in search for the perfect brand of ukuleles, Lanikai WINS! Each Lanikai ukulele has a fret board "set up" with easy action, professional GHS strings, enabling anyone to play like a "pro", the sound compares to any custom hand made ukuleles but surpasses that sound with a richer, fuller and more vibrant sound, exclusive only to Lanikai Ukuleles. When I play any of my Lanikai ukes, it doesn't matter the series or size, each uke comes ALIVE in my hands guaranteeing me a PERFECT performance.
Musically Yours,
Mary Lou Dempler
Louisville Ukulele Association Orchestra (LUAU)”
