Singto is known as the first popular musician/singer to present ukuleles on stages and in all of his music video. His easy listening songs and sweet ukulele sound plays important role in making ukuleles popular in Thailand.

Since fascinated by a ukulele made in Hawaii which Iwoa Yamaguchi happened to pick up when he was twenty-six years old, he has played various kinds of easy listening---Hawaiian, jazz, bossa nova, etc.  His ukulele albums have been released more than ten so far, which made him greatest Japanese ukulele man who brought out more than any other.

Whether it’s Bowie or Britney, Motorhead or Madonna, The Re-entrants somehow manage to get in all the hooks, riffs, solos and vocal harmonies with nothing but two voices and two ukuleles. Their abilities on the instrument belie its cute appearance and music hall associations, and whilst the audience may laugh at two large men with such tiny instruments launching, arms windmilling, into a rock classic, the laughter soon turns to applause and heads shaken in disbelief! Despite appearing to be a small acoustic duo, they are in fact a uke-behind-the-head-soloing, foot-up-on-the-monitor bonsai rock and pop band!  The Re-entrants have performed hundreds of gigs all over the UK, from small clubs to huge festival stages, have released 3 CDs and appeared on TV and radio.

Shigeto’s Signature model has a beautiful story to tell .Once he had a fantastic dream about Rainbow and it has a meaning of dreams coming true. He asked designer to inlay 7th fret with big abalone dot to symbolize the Sun and 10th fret with a abalone raindrop inlay. The mother of pearls Rainbow rays is design in the Japanese oriental art style. Sun and raindrop form the colorful rainbows. The body wood used Solid Mango as it brings warm and sweet-tone. The Neck is made thinner to make easier playing. The nut has 38mm width, so the fingerboard is wider to prevent from slipping off.

Successfully blending the sounds of jazz blues and swing, Gerald Ross has created a guitar style uniquely his own. Whether he is playing jazz standards, popular favorites, delta and urban blues, Tin Pan Alley melodies, New Orleans rhythms or boogie woogie, it’s bound to be a delightful surprise to any listener. He has the rare ability to transmit an infectious good humor to his audience through a tasteful combination of outstanding instrumental talent and an eclectic repertoire. An experienced musician, Gerald Ross is equally at home in a concert hall or on a small club stage. 

We are honor to work with Gerald to design his signature uke. The communication took us 4 months and 50+ emails exchange. The brainstorm goes from Gerald’s favorite movie, food, pet, and friends. We finally go into ZEN moment, and design this one of a kind Art deco type headstock. The headstock is fine blend of 3 woods: rosewood, koa, and Padauk the reddish wood.  Padauk wood is use on the binding of the neck, and body. The nut width is 38mm or 1.5 inches, and offers a very comfortable neck profile. Fishman AG-UKE passive pickup is used for the warm sound, and light weight.

Steven Sproat is considered to be one of the UK\'s finest ukulele exponents. He has developed his own style over 38 years of playing and has performed extensively in the UK and abroad including some prestigious venues such as Ronnie Scott\'s, the Mean Fiddler (London) and the New York Ukulele Festival.

aNueNue first met Steven on YouTube, and we are shock by both his music and playing style. They then got Steven’s DVD and learn the basic strumming, triplet stroke, Hawaiian stroke, finger picking, thumb roll, split stroke, fan stroke, Flamenco stroke and chord inversions. A must have DVD for ukulele fans.

The design on Steven’s uke is a very challenging task. Steven is a patient British gentleman, we took several month of communication, and more emails than you can imagine. They finally end up with the vintage style inlay on the fingerboard. Inlay is 120% hand cut mother of pearl and inlay into the rosewood fingerboard. The rosette is blend of wood and abalone inlay work. We did a special twist inside the box to accommodate Steven’s heavy strumming style.

He is a powerful vocalist, with a voice as smooth and sweet as tupelo honey but he can growl like a hurricane on a hot Louisiana night. He can hold his own singing Novetly Jazz tunes from the 1920s and 30s or growling a down home blues.

Hal is charismatic and engaging on stage leading the audience in a journey through juke joints and roadside chicken joints. Old gospel songs are played alongside stories of lost love and murder. Hal has a songwriter\'s roots in eerie folk - murder ballads and killer floods - and a players roots in the deep, dark, fixin\' to die blues. This is a man who can sing the word \"lonesome\" like he means it, and no mistake.

Canadian Rock! Hal is our big brother from Canada. He is got a unique blue vibe going on with ukulele. We love the way he jam over the loop, and express really nice licks. We are happy to have him play a Papa II CE. It is a mahogany concert cutaway model fitted with Fishman AG-UKE pickups. Catch him in action on Youtube.

The Ukulele, ( /ˌjuːkəˈleɪliː/ ew-kə-lay-lee;^[1] from Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ]; variantly spelled ukelele in the UK), sometimes abbreviated to uke, is a chordophone classified as a plucked lute; it is a subset of the guitar family of instruments, generally with four nylon or gut strings or four courses of strings.^[2]

The ukulele originated in the 19th century as a Hawaiian interpretation of the cavaquinho or braguinha and the rajão, small guitar-like instruments taken to Hawaiʻi by Portuguese immigrants.^[3] It gained great popularity elsewhere in the United States during the early 20th century, and from there spread internationally.

The tone and volume of the instrument varies with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone.
