Why Artists Play Lanikai Ukuleles

As a working professional, it is crucial to utilize instruments on stage and in the studio that are reliable and consistent in the quality of tone and play-ability. The Lanikai models are designed and crafted by fellow musicians who understand that flexibility and dependability in the instruments we play allow us to be better artists when we present our music to audiences.

Lanikai is the only instrument I play. It’s easy to tune, fun to strum, and brings my songs to life. I constantly get compliments from fans on how beautiful it sounds and looks after each and every show. You can always rely on Lanikai Ukuleles to make you sound your absolute best!

I like Lanikai because they make professional quality instruments. The thoughtful design and craftsmanship enables me to play Lanikai live and in the studio. I’ve never played a uke that could play nearly as well as a Lanikai. The action rivals my electric guitar and the intonation is wonderful. It’s simply fun to play!

Lanikai builds some of the most world-class ukuleles in the industry at still very affordable pricing for the musician. The company is constantly innovating and developing new lines of ukuleles. I absolutely love that Lanikai offer ukuleles with more than just four strings! As a producer / session musician, I am always in need of different options in tonally for recording. It is also important to use instruments that have good intonation and can hold tuning. For me, Lanikai is the perfect fit!

“I play the Lanikai MA-S Ukulele because it delivers a rich, full sound every time I play. It’s my go-to for performing traditional Mariachi songs—both in the classroom and on stage. My students love their Lanikai ukuleles just as much as I do. Viva la música Latino!”
