From the reviews

We visited WestSide Music Hawaii today looking for a decent ukulele for our granddaughter who has joined an ukulele club at her school in Oregon but is still using a cheap plastic ukulele we bought her years ago.

★★★★★ — Ellen, Nov 2019

Great staff, small, friendly, and a local business. This place offers a variety of instruments. Prices are competitive with the island. Hosts musical session on certain days. Locals musicians come here to get their gear!!! Plus the owner is renowned musician!

★★★★★ — Aloron117, Apr 2026

The owner is very friendly and is very knowledgeable when it comes to anything musical. This is the first store I went to look for a brand new guitar and I left with one I enjoyed a lot. I would definitely recommend this store to anyone who wants an instrument or has a question about any instruments.
