Po Mahina Island Jazz ‘Ukulele

I am proud to endorse the ‘ukuleles of Dennis Lake. I know that they are great, because I play one and love it. It is simply the finest ‘ukulele I have ever played.

This design is inspired by the work of the great Mario Maccaferri, and recalls the Selmer Jazz guitars of the 1930's, particularly their Concert Classical. The voice of this instrument makes it especially suited to modern ‘ukulele finger styles. All Po Mahina ‘ukulele, are individually hand made, and are musician's instruments. Sound and playability are paramount concerns.

About Dennis Lake

Dennis Lake has been making and repairing fretted instruments since the late 1960's. In 1970, he founded the Great Lakes Banjo Co. in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These banjos are still highly sought after by players and collectors. Along the way, he has become a nationally known authority on vintage American instruments. He now makes his home in Ka‘u, a beautiful rural district on Hawai‘i Island, and specializes in making instruments especially suited to the music of Hawai‘i. You can currently also catch up to him twice a year at the Beamer ‘Ohana's Aloha Music Camp where he teaches an ‘ukulele building class.
