I always like to dabble around making miniatures outside the scope of my main
activity, which is to build oceanic ship models for collectors and art galleries. For a long time, I have wanted to make a miniature UKELELE. Not content with the Ukelele, I added an Ipu and a Pahu drum to complete a set of miniature Hawaiian instruments.
The ukulele is 5.5" tall and is made using beautiful, rare, curly Koa wood favored by most Hawaiian ukulele players.
The Ipu drum, 4 inches tall, in this set is carved from the wood of the Breadfruit tree, a staple in Oceanic cultures.
The Pahu drum is 2 inches and a half tall and carved using the Breadfruit tree's wood.
The entire set is not just sold, but lovingly packaged in a way that's ready to be displayed. Each instrument has its own foam cutout, ensuring their safety during transport and your peace of mind.
There is the lid of the gift box in which the instruments can be placed in foam cutouts, designed to securely hold each instrument in place. This keeps them safe and easy to transport. The more significant part of the box holds the wooden base and a showcase. Now it is time to display the instruments. Take them out from their foam cutouts and place them onto the base or into the music stand for the Ukelele.
You will be surprised; the Ipu drum will stay firmly upright on top of the base even though the bottom of it is round.
The dimensions of the wooden base, crafted from Mahagony wood, are 5" x 7.5". And those of the acrylic showcase, are:
L: 7.5", W: 5", H: 6.5 inches.
THE SOUNDS OF HAWAII is not just a product, it's a unique concept that has never been seen or available before. This is an opportunity to own a piece of Hawaiian culture that would delight any Hula dancer or Ukelele player.
* The miniature Ukelele, while a stunning replica, is not designed for playing. Its delicate construction and small size make it more suitable for display purposes.
