Changing the way you experience ukuleles

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced ukulele player, we believe you deserve a wonderful, amazingly looking and sounding instrument.

The ukulele industry is drowning in a sea of generalist music shops, who only care about selling you the most expensive item they have in store.

And that’s between the only 4 or 5 (crappy) models they stock.

Let me ask you:

Ever stepped foot into your local music shop and asked to try a ukulele?

Chances are the one you tried was probably dusty, out of tune and that the “expert” you were talking to was at best a guitar player, and at worst a drummer (no offense to either!).

That’s not how your first experience with a ukulele should be.

We want to change that.

At Bondi Ukuleles:

We make it effortless to find a ukulele you’ll fall in love with. Use our 2-minute questionnaire, our buyers guide or ask our friendly staff on live chat.

United States is huge. It can take ages to receive a package sometimes. We deliver your ukulele in 2-4 days max. Upgrading you to express shipping for free, if needed.

You can find your ukulele between 100+ models in different sizes, colours, woods, sounds and prices.

Our team, the people you speak with, are neither bots, nor guitar players or drummers. They are ukulele experts. Ukuleles are their bread and butter.

Left handed? You’re in the 10% of the population. That’s not peanuts! We offer the largest collection of left-handed ukuleles in the world, so you too, can find your own.

Not what you wanted or need to exchange your ukulele? You get free 60-day returns, no questions asked.

Before we send your uke, we set it up and carefully package it. So you’re ready to start playing as soon as you receive it.

With your ukulele and free bag, you also get a ton of learning tools, video tutorials and even a live lesson. So you can (and want to) practice. Right from day 1.

You get a lifetime warranty on your ukulele. That’s right, not 12 months - for life. We put skin in the game. You can be sure we’re only stocking top brands.

You deal with an Aussie-based company, not some random warehouse around the world. We stock our own products and put a premium on quality control.

Real fulfilment comes from hearing happy customers every day, and knowing we're helping make their lives brighter with every uke.

It’s gorgeous, and came with so many accessories that are perfect for a beginner, I don’t feel like I’ve been left in the dark or like I have to YouTube every little detail to learn about this instrument properly!

One Strum at a Time

Hello, I'm Marcus, one of the proud co-founders of Bondi Ukuleles.

My journey with music began early, embedded in the rhythms of a family that cherished melody and harmony. At just five years old, my life shifted tune as we relocated to Sydney, enabling my father to join the prestigious Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

In the musical whirl of my childhood, each visit to a friend or family member's home echoed with the soulful strains of a piano or the dulcet tones of another beloved instrument. These experiences, like a timeless refrain, have been imprinted deeply into the fabric of my memories.

As the son of a piano tuner, our family home was a symphony in itself - perpetually alive with the sounds of various musical instruments. It was within this vibrant cacophony that my love for music truly took root.

Initially, I found myself captivated by the rich resonance of my father's lovingly restored vintage pianos. Soon, my hands ventured to the versatile strings of the guitar, drawn by its myriad of expressible emotions. Yet, it was the ukulele that struck a unique chord within me, sparking an interest that was to become a lifelong passion. Today, I'm humbled and excited to share that same love and fascination for ukuleles through Bondi Ukuleles.
