You (our customers) have helped us to complete our second year of business at Anacapa Ukulele.  We are very appreciative of your loyalty and promotion of our little store.

We have learned a lot in these two years and we are continuing to keep our original mission of bringing music into the lives of as many people as we can while maintaining a brick-and-mortar store where our customers can feel welcome and non-pressured in their ukulele exploration and experience.

Our inventory is ever expanding and we strive to bring you the best quality of merchandise and customer service.  YOU are the most important part of this journey. 

Play. Touch. Listen. See. Feel. Learn. Connect.  These are things that you just can't do from an online-only store.  We offer our customers the opportunity to really know what they are considering purchasing.  We offer size and style advice as requested based on our experience and your goals. 

We want you to be satisfied with your purchase, even if it means that you don't ultimately purchase from us.  Of course, when you do purchase from us you get the bonus of our on-going support and maintenance of your instrument.

In appreciation of your support, we will be hosting a KANIKAPILA!

Happy Fall.  Happy Autumn.  I love this time of year.  Getting ready for the holidays and family gatherings.  Trying to get some fun play-along and sing-along songs ready to share.  Stepping on crunchy fallen leaves.  Love it all.  Love the fall.  We will be planning our holiday specials, too!  Taking a week off for a special occasion this month.  In the meantime, here is a throwback video starring Doris Day and Arthur Godfrey.  Arthur Godfrey was quite the 'ukulele enthusiast and promoter (in case you didn't know).
