Local Makers of
Ukuleles Can't.
Fill An Orders
Mainland Demands For island
made instruments Keep Man
ufacturers Behind Hand

1.-THE only trouble with the Hawaii
an made ukuleles seems to be that there
are not enough of them" is the state
ment made by a maker Of Hawaiian
ukuleles yesterday morning ina dis
cussion concerning the recent complaint
from the Coast shat the Hawaiian in.
struments are of inferior quality to
those of mainland manufacture.
The statements which have recently
appeared in Honolulu criticizing the
instrument made in Hawaii has not
been relished by the local manufaetur-
ers, and the business they are doing
SENS to give them good reason for
wondering at the complaint from the
Coast
At least one manufacturing concern
in Honolulu, the Hawaiian Ukulele
Company, feels satisfied that there il
littb importance to be attached to the
| criticism. This concern received
cable order for all the instruments it
had on hand the day after the com
plant about the quality of the instru
ments was published. And the CON.
pany which placed the order ID the one
which said found fault with Island
made instruments.
According to the manager Of the
Hawaiian Ukulele Company. Coast
music dealers can't be supplied fast
enough with the little Hawaiian instru
ments. -
He said, "We sent out ESQ on the
Wilhelmina this morning, and il takes
every finished instrument we have on
hand to I'll the order. We have never
been able to accumulate a stock from
which to FIJI orders, and frequently
have been weeks behind 10 makinE
shipments. We have a place for the
next hundred to be completed, and can
not see any way of getting ahead of
our orders for some time to come.
"Of course it would be possible to
turn out large quantities by machinery,
but the instruments made in Honolulu
by native workmen are far superior
in tone to the mainland inhtFutne ntsi
The local manufacturers seem inclined
to maintain that superiority as long as
possible
"In spite of any ideas to the Goa.
trary, the Hawaiian made instruments
are very well received on the Coast, and
nearly every mail brings us inquiries
for prices of the genuine Hawaiian.
