Dramatic natural landscapes form the backdrop of Reno Tahoe, where America’s largest alpine lake meets the Biggest Little City in the World. 300 days of sunshine per year light up cultural heritage sites, along with innovative districts leading the charge into the future. Those who live presently can enjoy outdoor retreats, downtown attractions, and a boredom-busting calendar of cultural, culinary, and sports events. Four distinct seasons provide the impetus to step outside comfort zones and into award-winning breweries, entertaining live shows, luxurious day spas, and pockets of mountainous adventure. There’s something for every type of traveler visiting Reno Tahoe.
Joyful. Quirky. Irresistibly cheeky. The words used to describe the ukulele often apply to those who play the instrument, as well. Ukulele magazine celebrates your enthusiasm and inclusiveness. Published since 2013, every issue features enlightening stories, tips and techniques, songs to play, practical advice on instrument care, insights into the rich history of the ukulele, plus news, reviews, events, and so much more.
The Strum Shop is a family owned full service, musical instrument store opened by Daniel Elliott Jr and Stu Herreid in May of 2012. Daniel had already been working on a business plan to open his own music store, while Stu was looking for a new meeting place for the rapidly growing ukulele club he had founded a few years earlier. They decided to join forces and the concept for The Strum Shop was born.
The Strum Shop strives to 'inspire musicianship, equip musicians and enrich the community through music.' "We don’t want to just sell stuff," says Elliott, "we want to create a space for music enthusiasts to come together and pursue their passion of music making."
Headquartered in Long Beach, CA, we believe in the importance of Quality, Playability, and Value. Since 2006, we have focused on making ukuleles from rich tonewoods and constructions that yield the best-sounding instruments possible.
At Ohana, we believe innovation is the key to any endeavor, tempered with an appreciation of those who paved the way for the ukulele before us. When conceptualizing a new line, we take everything into consideration— from sourcing and pairing tone-woods, to the unique shape and construction of each model.
