WELCOME TO LELE UKULELES!

Inventors of the Liger Ukulele with Built-in Amplifier and Speaker

Based in Hawaii, the original home of the ukulele, our company invented and began selling the first ukuleles with built-in amp and speaker in 2010. Now after years of research and experimentation we are proud to bring this new refined version of the ukulele to market in a big way! Named the Liger because of it’s powerful hybrid nature, the Liger ukulele sparkles with authentic presence and exquisite tone, yet is so much louder than most any uke you're likely to lay your hands on. Also, because the Liger ukulele has a built-in amplifier it can interact with the natural acoustics of the ukulele to achieve a singularly robust responsiveness, sustain and playability.

Master Players Power Ukulele Sampler

Here are clips of three different master musicians jamming on the Power Ukulele, at Just Ukes in downtown Kona. The legendary slack key guitar player, Moses Kahumoku, plays the Power Uke in slack key tuning, doing some traditional style music, as well as ripping it up with some blues. After those two clips the wandering banjo guru, Banjo Billy, sings and plays with the ukulele tuned up for his banjo style. The last clip features the amazing blues guitarist, Greg Gunhold, playing around with normal GCEA tuning. It's pretty impressive and fun to watch these master players jamming on an ukulele, which is not at all their normal instrument, and also playing a whole new kind of ukulele. The fact that they play with such skill in this situation is amazing. I was particularly honored to have the legendary Hawaiian slack key guitar player, Moses Kahumoku trying out my crazy new invention, and actually enjoying it. I've worked hard to make the Power Ukulele sound superb. Thank you to these musicians for the beautiful playing! Rar Jungle Hawaii Power Ukuleles

We've been doing this for 10 years but have yet to ask anyone for an official review or comment to post, but Billy Jr. from Uncle Billy's of Kona has said more than once that he loves the sound of the Liger more than his Kamaka. Truly one of the highest compliments! Many other Hawaiian players have given similar praise and we hope to get them quoted here soon. Watching the above videos of legendary Hawaiian players such as Moses Kahumoku and others playing earlier versions of the Liger above, one can see how much they love it!
