Moodyville Ukulele Co. is the Ukulele branding of Shelley D Park who is based in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is most famous for her Selmer style Guitars, which she sell under the Park Guitars branding and she started making them in 1991. The Moodyville Ukulele are also predominantly Tenor scale cutaway manouche style archtops with a D sound hole but she does do standard flat top style Tenors too, (I have never seen anything but Tenor Moodyvilles).
From Ontario, he is self taught, started making Ukuleles around 2008 after retirement and likes to make unusual shaped Ukuleles, often based on old medieval shapes in Concert, Tenor or Baritone scale. Since 2011 he has concentrated much more on making jewellery so makes far fewer instruments now.
Tom Parse is a member of the Big Island Ukulele Guild who spends his time between Kealakekua on the Big Island, (winter), and Fairbanks, Alaska, (summer; but he may move to Hawaii full time). He was an Aero Mechanic by trade, who learned luthiery with Sam Rosen and now, having retired, works as a full time luthier.
He makes Soprano, Concert and Tenor scales, and with his co-location uses koa from Hawaii and spruce from Alaska, (as well as a number of other local and exotic woods, including Spanish cedar for all his necks and kerfing, and ebony for the fretboards). He uses carbon both as neck reinforcement and as a bridge plate under the saddle and mastodon ivory for his nuts, saddles and sometimes some inlay. Another feature of his builds with a 15 foot radius bowl shape on the back and a 25 foot radius arch on the top for extra strength; and he is moving toward the thinner body shapes too. The Ukuleles he makes in Alaska he calls "Far North" and the ones from Hawaii "Hokukano" (but I have sometimes seen them as "Hokukano Ranch" as well).
Mike Perdue is a member of the Big Island Luthiers Guild and based in Hilo on the Big Island. He makes all sizes of Ukulele using the branding Lilinoe Lifestyle.
He also runs a Gallery / Showroom where he sells his own and other local luthiers Ukuleles plus other wood related items.
Paul Petersen is based on Maui. He apprenticed under Steve Grimes before starting Nahenahe Hawaiian Ukuleles. This ran from 1993-2000 and was a brand known for the intricate inlay and some innovative sound hole shapes and placements. He gave up luthiery to become a full time musician and like a lot of "full time" musicians he is back on the tools now to augment his income repairing instrument and making new ones, (not sure if he still brands them Nahenahe now? and there was a website but its gone now).
He makes all scales Of Ukulele from Sopranino to Baritone along with Lili'us and Taropatches and only does custom work
From Masaya, Nicaragua and I am not sure if this is a full blown firm or just the work of Luis Pilarte, (if it is just him, he appears very productive)? He has been making chordophones since the late 1980's and though it is mainly Guitars, the output does include Guitarrillas, Mandolins and Concert Ukuleles
Bigleaf Mandolins is the branding used by Stanley Pope of Kelowna, British Columbia. He has been making instruments since the late 1980's and as the company name suggests he specialises in Mandolins, however there are a number of other wooden instruments in his standard catalogue to, including Concert, Tenor and Baritone Ukuleles. For the Ukuleles he does make a standard looking figure 8 body shape, but because of the Mandolins he also makes an A style Mandolin body version he calls the "Celtic Pineapple". Another thing he makes is a Dulcimer, Strumstick kind of steel strung instrument he calls the "Strummer" with a Tenor scale Ukulele version as one of the options. All of his Instruments can be right or left handed, (as he is left handed), and the Ukuleles can be nylon or steel strung.
Based in Lahaina, Maui, Ken Potts works with his Father in law making custom Ukuleles and Guitars. He started KP Ukuleles in 2000 and does all scales of Ukulele along with 5, 6 and 8 string variants. In addition to his standard KP Ukuleles he also does reproductions of old style Hawaiian Ukuleles for Kahiko Vintage Reproductions.
Kula is a family run business from the Big Island, Hawaii, with Crist Pung being the main luthier, (there is a long explanation of the name Kula on the website). He is largely self taught, though he has learned from some of the other luthiers on the Island, and has been making Ukuleles since 2006, having been in wholesale koa production for many years previous to that. He is a member of the Big Island Ukulele Guild and some of his Ukuleles have a lot of inlay work on the headstocks and fretboard. The website says they make Soprano, Concert and Tenor Ukuleles, but from what I have seen I think the output is mainly Tenor. The website also says they make custom "one off's" they call the specials and "on spec" batch builds of 6 to 8 they call presentation
