Bill Tapia™ was celebrated worldwide as the “Duke of Uke.” He performed with Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, and just about everyone who was anyone in the early Hawaiian music scene.

He taught ukulele to Shirley Temple, Clark Gable and many others from Hollywood’s Golden Era. In Bill’s hands, the ukulele became a magical instrument.

Now, you can create magic of your own. Built to Bill’s exacting standards, Bill Tapia ukuleles will take you wherever you want to go, musically.  Bill never compromised with his music and neither do his signature ukuleles.

Each instrument is hand-crafted, using rigorous construction methods to ensure great sound, high quality, and sublime playability.
