The Ukulele is having a huge resurgence in the music industry and here at Forsyth we love them. We stock Sopranos, Concerts, Tenors, Bass, Electros and Banjoleles for the beginner through to the professional player.
We have everything from the insanely popular Mahalo coloured ukes to high quality instruments by Lani, Kala, Lanikai, Martin, Moana and much more, including many handmade, vintage and one-off Ukes. There are 130+ items to choose from, with something to suit all musical styles and budgets.

This lovely little Portuguese folk guitar is tuned CGADG with courses like a 12 string giving it a beautifully etherial sound. Sized similarly to a smallish tenor guitar it's a comfortable instrument to play and sounds lovely. Made in Portugal by the highly regarded ukulele maker Carvalho.
