Ko'olau instruments is a family business with over 25 years of building high end instruments here on O’ahu. With a small shop in Wahiawa as a father and son team we work at building your custom instruments and some standard models.

We don’t follow trends or chase fads but rather focus on building instruments that are timeless, of top quality and represents who we are. We maintain very strict standards in everything we do, from the woods we select to the tuners we use and our binding process.

The process of building a custom instrument is detailed and collaborative. We like to talk with our customers about what they’re looking for, what sound they want, what kind of music they play and what designs they like.
