Quail Creek Ukulele Club would like give special THANKS to the Folk Shop in Tucson for their continued support for our Ukulele club, right from the beginning.  New Players seeking to learn more about purchasing a ukulele, or our players who need some repairs, accessories or just questions of all kinds, feel comfortable with all the staff at the Folk Shop.  Your staff’s expertise in working on these small mighty instruments never disappoints.

If you haven’t already, you really must stop in and check out their really cool Ukulele room…  They have a great selection of Ohana Ukulele’s and just became a Kamaka Ukulele distributor….  They will have plenty of surprises for you to look at and play.

Thank you Wally for your guidance as we have grown, and then decided to take a chance with us in being our main Sponsor for this event!  Thank you also to Chris, Mary Kat and Dalton for all your help 🙂

At Ohana, they believe innovation is the key to any endeavor, tempered with an appreciation of those who paved the way for the ukulele before them.
