We have an Oceana ukulele waiting for you to play... be it the songs of the Islands, or gypsies, pirates, punk rockers, or the deep down blues. We pour our hearts and souls into our ukuleles, it's up to you to make it sing! Oceana Ukuleles, makers of finely crafted instruments.
Last summer Aaron Keim of Bean Sprout Ukuleles interviewed me for an article. He did a splinded job of consolidating a very long phone conversation into a short concise magazine piece! Winsome Walstad took the pictures. The article really came out good!
A big thank you to Aaron, Winsome, and the crew at the Ukulele Mag!
Three good friends with in a few month of each other contacted me asking for guitars! I did a lot of drawing and even had some false starts but after dozens of designs I really liked this shape. Following a long tradition and good intuition I was thrilled with the final project! 2 more to go! I have made 7 parlor guitars and really love them but with the request for bigger and “better” I wrote down on one of my jigs “E S Guitar” Extra Size.
In the beginning of January I had a great opportunity to jet down to Baja Sur and surf with my cousin during the epic swell of 2021! We had a lot of near empty surf and and over all great time (I helped him build the Casa Rodante last summer).
Can you believe it? This will be our 6th annual 4th of July Party! It just keeps getting funner. This year we're going to do Cuban BBQ pork sandwiches. Please bring a dish to share. There will be great music, good friends and plenty of awesome food. So, grab a lawn chair or picnic blanket, fireworks if you like, and a friend. See you then! Musical line up to be annouced as they are confirmed, so stay tuned. Please contact us soon if you want stage time so we can be sure to save you some.
Phil Keaggy played his Oceana Ukulele on a song on his daughter Cheri Keaggy's new album No Longer My Own.
We asked Cheri if we could share the song here and she agreed. So here it is: Whatever is True (Phil 4:8) shared with Permission BMI Publishing:
Under the typical cloudy NW skies we celebrated the forth of July with music and song! There was great pulled pork sandwiches, fresh salads, and a lot of fantastic food! Sadly, the Southworth Ukulele Strummers couldn't come but we had some greats play for us! Al Tringale, often hailed as the best Slack Key guitarist in the NW blessed our party with some incredible Hawaiian music.
Another surprise performer was Teddy Randazzo Jr, he wowed us with his skills on the Harp Guitar, Guitar, Ukulele and Bass Ukulele! What a blast!
Caleb Ogden finished up the evening with some fun DJ dance mixes.
Thanks to all our performers and guests! Hope to see you next year!
We had a splendid time at this festival and hope to go back next year!
In her newest recording she was laying down some tracks with the Oceana Guitar and loving the sound!
This is the 200th Instrument that has been built under the Oceana Ukulele label and it is a wonderfully voiced Parlor Guitar!
Back in 2005 my dad encouraged me to build a Ukulele Bass… 9 years later I finally got to it! This one was my Prototype and the one I will play and take to festivals! I really am hooked on this little bass... such a nice sound (the U-Bass sounded alright and that is what kept me back for so long). I wanted to make one that sounded even better and I succeeded! I used parallel bracing and built in an acoustic quality that keeps this bass ahead of the rest! K&K pure bass pickup.
The Scalloped Fretboard keeps this Oceana Bass playing silky smooth.
I had to change the pickup on this Uke Bass and a backdoor became necessary.

I added the turtle NW style to keep it at it's best!
