Moore Bettah – Peacock Tenor

Chuck Moore Custom Tenor "Peacock" We just got this instrument in from our friend on the Big Island, Chuck Moore. In case you guys didn’t already know, I’m a huge fan of Chuck’s Moore Bettah Ukes.

Koa Tenor Moore Bettah!

This is a new koa tenor from Chuck Moore. It's truly a phenomenal instrument. Extremely easy to play with super low action, yet has all the dynamics, body, and volume you'd ever want.

We are back now from our travels to a few shops in California with some our favorite uke makers and the NAMM 2016 musical instrument trade show.

Bettah Daze

I remember when I first met my wife. She came over to Ko'olau's workshop and I was playing bass with my band. I loved the sound of her voice and couldn't stop thinking about her. The next time we saw each other was at a party where we left together and went to Kailua beach park. We sat at an ...
