Groups, teachers and Schools… How can we help?

We supply schools and workshops with ukes at

bulk discount prices. We work closely with schools to choose the right ukes for each class age group, secure the best deal and offer ongoing sup-port and aftersales service. We can also facilitate

one day workshops with rentals of entry level ukes for beginners etc

We also offer discounts, accessory deals and more for members of uke groups, are happy to advise new players or groups and are available for ser-

vices such as re-stringing, tuning etc.

We also host 2 Uke Sales nights per year (Summer and Xmas) with lots of bargains—preference for tickets goes to uke group members and pupils—

and we have a stall at the fabulous Ukulele Hooley in Dunlaoghaire (August 27th 2017!) where amaz-

ing deals can be snapped up every year.
