Ko'olau/Pono Ukuleles
Ko’olau Guitar and Ukulele Company manages and oversee all Pono manufacturing. All designs and styles are patterned after their Ko'olau instruments, and manufacturing techniques are supervised by their staff in Hawaii. To reduce costs and provide a more affordable guitar and 'ukulele, they manufacturer their Pono line of instruments on the island of Java, southwest of Hawaii, and a few hundred miles northwest of Australia. Ko'olau staff are personally involved in each phase of production, spending considerable time personally overseeing operations. Skilled craftsman at the Java factory have been building guitars and 'ukulele for many years. Pono instruments are not simply a cheap “import” but instead, made with the same pride and integrity as the Ko'olau models. The second phase of manufacturing involves extensive final set-up and quality control in Ko'olau's Wahiawa factory on Oahu.

Exotic Island Series 'Ukulele
Interesting, unusual, and exotic woods from the beautiful forests of the south pacific islands. We use varieties of Rosewood and 'Ohai from the islands of Java and Sumatra and the rare and treasured Macassar Ebony from the island of Sulawesi. All have proven to be excellent tone woods, especially combined with top soundboards of either Cedar or Spruce, which we import from Alaska and Canada. Currently we have three cutaway models. On Rosewood and Ebony models we use curly Koa top and back binding, and 'Ohai models we use ebony binding. All models have rope marquetry purfling, and an abalone rosette inlay. Ebony faceplate, fingerboard, and bridge. Bone nut and saddle. Pearl logo and fingerboard position dots, Grover mini-rotomatic tuners with ebony buttons. Ko'olau Gold Strings, gloss finish, and includes a Ko'olau Hardshell Case. All models include a Pono saddle transducer pickup.
