Customer Feedback

The new DVD is wonderful! I just received my copy yesterday. I watched it last night, and I have to say that it gave me chicken skin. A beautiful DVD about one of my favorite subjects, ki ho`alu. Mahalo nui to all involved, especially Keola and his wife. It was a wonderful "Christmas gift." - Jay Richards
Just received and watched my copy of the DVD -- over the years I've come to trust that anything you release or present is going to be a quality product - and you've never failed to meet that expectation. In fact, if it is possible, each release seems better than the last. - Raymond Stovich
We just got your Slack Key DVD in this week and have watched it three times through already! What a beautiful documentary this is with music, dance , talk-story and history, all revolving around the magic of slack key. As a Big-Islander living on the mainland it brought smiles and tears (the good kind) to see Hawaii so beautifully evoked. Growing up in Hilo, the beauty of Mauna Kea that you sing of was a constant backdrop. Now, of course, it forms the backdrop of my dreams. Mahalo for producing this documentary. It is already a treasure on our DVD shelf and we wish you and your family all the best. - Larry Royston
GOT IT and it was every bit as good as I thought and then some! I have the print of the Goddess of Mauna Kea in my sunroom. We (my late husband and I) were lucky enough to have visited friends up in Waimea on the Big Island and to stay in their home which backed up to Mauna Kea. We never had the opportunity to go to the top of the mountain though.

Thanks for the wonderful service!
