Check out a musical instrument along with your books and movies: we have a Ukulele Collection! Ukuleles are the perfect instrument for all learning levels. They’re known for their warm sound and ease of use, so they’re a fun way to explore music for first-timers and seasoned players alike.

Our Ukulele Collection was made possible in collaboration with the Ukulele Collective of Tennessee, Guitar Center, Fanny’s House of Music, Lucky U Review, Kala Brand Music Co., and Nashville Ukulele Society.
