NOTE: When we announced this event, Alex was due to teach a morning workshop at 11.30am. Sadly, he broke his wrist this week (28/9/22) and will no longer be able to lead the group for this workshop. Sammy T has graciously offered to step in and teach a similar workshop. We have missed doing our instore events throughout the pandemic...

Happy new year from all of us at Southern Ukulele Store… I appreciate you probably get bombarded with salesy emails this time of year so I will avoid putting this in your inbox and send it to the phantom zone that is our website blog. I will keep it brief and share with you only the things you really want...

written by Alex Bedrijczuk - Ukulele Obsessive and SUS Manager I am on a mission. Having worked in the Ukulele business now for nearly 15 years I find myself in daily conversation with some wonderful people from the worlds biggest Ukulele brands and manufacturers. In the early days of the Southern Ukulele Store Rob and Paul dabbled with an affordable...

JULY 21 UPDATE -The Big Island Uli, Oulcraft, Kamaka & a fresh website… Hi folks, We all know how these blogs go… Someone starts writing it, they post half a dozen times and then they forget it exists for 5 years. Well, it hasn't quite been 5 years but perhaps a little bit longer than I would have liked! I...

It's that exciting time year again where we begin to announce our free Saturday Instore performances and workshops of 2020... In previous years we have been lucky enough to host workshops with many of the Ukulele worlds biggest household names. The likes of international stars James Hill, Aldrine Guerrero, Aaron Keim, Del Ray, Victoria Vox, Craig Chee and Sarah Maisel...

 As some of you may know, we recently took delivery of 3 very special Ukuleles from South Dakota based Craftsman Tom Molstad. Tom's instruments caught my eye by accident about 6 months ago and I knew from the moment I saw his #13 Ukulele Shearwater that I had to own one. Half a year later and today (9/4/19) our...

Living with the MiSi Air! Is it worth the extra money? Also, just how useful is an internal microphone in the live setting? Southern Ukulele Store and the newly relaunched MiSi Air have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Back in 2016 we were one of the first European MiSi dealers to really get onboard with the 1.0 design...

As a Kanile'a dealer of nearly ten years, and their biggest overseas dealer, our love for Kanile'a Ukuleles is unquestionable, so to be able to offer this model really is a dream come true for us. Rob began discussions with Kanile'a about a model unique to SUS way back in 2016 during an annual visit to Joe Souza at Kanile'a...

We are getting to that time of year where we exchange presents with loved ones. If you are here - you probably already think that the man, woman and/or child in your life would have great fun with the Ukulele. They may even already play and you are blindly wading through page after page online trying to grasp what might...

1Visit   Thank you to everybody that made the journey down (or across) to SUS last month for our last workshop/gig of the year with Victoria Vox. It wasn't without its wobbles as the shop was as full as it has ever been and Victoria got caught up in traffic meaning we started an hour late... Even so, nothing dampened...
