About Us
Report
World-renowned luthier Michael Rock, hailing originally from Boston, MA, has made his home on the magical island of Maui, Hawaii since 1981. This is where you will find the Mele Ukulele retail store, just minutes from historic Iao Valley, right before the historic Waiale Bridge. The Mele production shop is just a couple of miles away, in Waiehu.
Our Mission
Report
The Ukulele is a symbol of the Hawaiian culture. Although it is based on a Portuguese instrument the Braguinha, it became a Hawaiian instrument when strung with gut strings instead of metal ones, tuned similarly to the guitar, and made out of Hawaiian koa wood (at that time known as "Hawaiian Mahogany").
Our Stores
Report
Located in the heart of historic Wailuku town, the original Mele Ukulele retail store has been a favorite stop for Maui's top musicians for more than 20 years! We carry a wide variety of ukuleles, from the classic soprano size to the "guitarlele", and we're located just downhill from the Iao Valley State Park, on Kaahumanu Avenue just before the historic Waiale Bridge. Our store at the SHOPS at WAILEA is a bit smaller than our original store, but packed with the finest in ukuleles and accessories.

There is a lifetime warranty on all of our instruments, however, there are things we do not cover. Our warranty does not cover damage to the finish including cracks, splitting or warpage of the wood due to changes in humidity, changes in temperature, sun exposure, fire, perspiration, acids, guitar straps, and cleaning or polishing materials.
