About Us
Hawaii's Oldest Music Store Since 1939
For over 85 years, Easy Music Center has been the trusted name in musical instruments across Hawaii. Founded in 1939 in the heart of Honolulu, we've served generations of musicians, from beginners picking up their first ukulele to professional performers outfitting entire studios.
Our Legacy
What started as a small music shop in downtown Honolulu has grown into Hawaii's premier destination for musical instruments and equipment. Through World War II, the Hawaiian Renaissance, and into the digital age, we've remained committed to one simple principle: providing musicians with quality instruments, expert advice, and genuine aloha spirit.
As Hawaii's oldest continuously operating music store, we've witnessed and supported the evolution of Hawaiian music, from traditional slack key guitar to modern island fusion. Our walls have seen countless musicians, both local legends and international stars, walk through our doors seeking the perfect instrument.
World's Largest Ukulele Selection
Today, Easy Music Center is home to one of the world's largest selections of ukuleles, with over 150 models in stock at any given time. We specialize in authentic Hawaiian handmade ukuleles and maintain the largest inventory of premium Hawaiian brands including:
- Kamaka - The gold standard of Hawaiian ukuleles since 1916
- KoAloha - Renowned for their distinctive sound and craftsmanship
- Kanile'a - Award-winning custom Hawaiian ukuleles
