Kamaka

Originating from Hawaii, Kamaka is a world-renowned brand and original maker of Hawaiian ukuleles. With over 100 years of history in making ukuleles, the family-owned and run business continues to deliver its popular instruments to players and musicians worldwide. All Kamaka ukuleles feature a distinct design – made from Hawaiian Koa wood with a lacquer finish to show fine grain highlights. Played by many great ukulele players including George Harrison, Ohta San (the father of the ukulele), and Jake Shimabukuro (ukulele superstar), Zenith stocks a variety of ukuleles from Kamaka, ranging from 4 to 6 strings and offers the figure 8 and pineapple shape.

The company was founded in 1916 by Samuel Kaialiilii Kamaka. He began crafting Koa wood ukuleles in his home for years before opening his one-man shop. Today, all Kamaka ukuleles are handcrafted in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Kamaka Ukulele factory.
