Excellent personal service. My uke was set up perfectly, Mike did exactly what he said he was going to do. In fact, it’s never played better. Highly recommend the shop for its amazing selection of instruments and knowledgeable staff.

I stumbled upon this shop by accident, but it was the happiest accident I’ve ever had happen! I went in there with no real idea of what I was looking for and left with the perfect ukulele for me. The staff was so welcoming and took the time to explain all the different ukulele types and sizes. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The store itself has a really great vibe and a fantastic selection. I’ll definitely be back!

Welcoming, Friendly, and Great Customer Service is what I experienced at Uke Republic. I went to pick up a ukulele I ordered and was greeted by the owner, Mike. He was incredibly friendly and patient with my questions. Not only did he provide great advice on different ukes, but he also took the time to walk me through how to tune it and some basic maintenance tips. I felt very comfortable and appreciated the personal service. It’s hard to find that kind of attention to detail and care these days. Highly recommended!

Best place to buy a ukulele!!!!
Mike, Donna, and the team are the best. If you are looking for a new uke, visit them and you will find it. They have an awesome selection and the staff will make sure you get exactly what you need. If you need repairs or setup, they do that too. Great place, great people. I highly recommend Uke Republic!

Awesome folks. Helpful like you would not believe, even long distance. I ordered a ukulele online and had several questions. Mike answered my questions thoroughly and even followed up to make sure everything was perfect. My uke arrived quickly, and it was set up just right. Excellent service from start to finish.

This is one of the finest businesses I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Mike and Donna know their stuff, and they are a pleasure to deal with. They helped me find the perfect ukulele for my needs, and their customer service is outstanding. The shop is well-stocked with a wide range of ukuleles, accessories, and more. Highly recommend checking them out, you won’t be disappointed!

I'll definitely come back here! The shop is quite small, but the staff more than make up for the lack of square footage. They are super knowledgeable about all things ukulele, and I never felt rushed or pushed to make a purchase. They gave me a lot of great advice on the best ukulele for a beginner and were so kind in answering all my questions. It’s a great little gem in the area for uke enthusiasts.

NOBODY. And I mean "NOBODY" out there is even remotely more worthy of my money and trust than Mike and Donna and their family at Uke Republic. From the moment you walk in the door, you know they care about you and the instrument you are about to purchase. Mike gave me a detailed rundown of different ukuleles, their construction, sound, and feel. He also helped me pick the right accessories to go with it. I can’t say enough about the amazing service. If you are serious about ukuleles, this is the place to go.

Just received my Kala tenor uke from Uke Republic. It was shipped promptly. The guys had installed the Aquila strings and a strap button, and everything was perfect when it arrived. I’ll definitely buy from them again.

So thankful I found this place! A must-go-to-store for any uke musician. I was able to try out multiple baritone ukuleles, and the staff was extremely helpful in guiding me to the perfect one. They have an extensive collection of ukuleles, accessories, and even custom-made instruments. If you want personalized service and expert advice, this is the place to go.

I did a ton of research...I'm a newbie with ukuleles and Mike answered any question I had. I went in for a specific uke, but after talking to Mike, I ended up with a totally different one. He didn’t try to upsell me, he just helped me make a better decision based on my needs. I really appreciated his honesty and his advice. Will definitely be returning here for any future uke needs!

Great place to buy a ukulele! I got my Flight Mustang tenor from this shop, and they did a great job on quality control and setting it up before shipping it out. It came in perfect condition, tuned up and ready to play! The staff was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions. Would definitely recommend to any ukulele player.

UKE is a family business that they make you feel like you are family as you walk in the door!!! They are years of information about ukuleles and sell all types of them. They even have performers show their talent. Well worth a trip to get to know this instrument that has come a long way from just playing "tip toe through the tulips".
We found out personally, and returned to buy another one.
