One of the most important factors in establishing the ukulele in Hawaiian music and culture was the ardent support and promotion of the instrument by King David Kalakaua. A patron of the arts, he incorporated it into performances at royal gatherings.
Ukuleles are generally made of wood, although variants have been made composed partially or entirely of plastic. Cheap ukuleles are generally made from ply or laminate woods, in some cases with a soundboard of an inexpensive wood such as spruce. On the other hand some of the most valuable ukuleles, which elsewhere sell for thousands of dollars, are made from Koa (Acacia koa), a Hawaiian wood known for its fine tone and attractive color and figure. At Global Creations and Interiors in Haleiwa, Hawaii on the North Shore of Oahu, our selection of handmade Ukuleles made entirely of local Hawaiian woods begin retailing at just $175.00.
