I ordered a new ukulele on New Year’s Eve and received it by the 5th. It sounds amazing and the set up is perfect! I’m also glad I went with the Misi pick up, it’s sounds great. I will definitely be shopping here again for my next ukulele.

Absolutely the best place to get your ukulele. The custom set up and care given to each one before they’re shipped out is what makes the product perfectly ready to play upon arrival! Very exceptional experience indeed. Can’t wait to buy some more nice ukes from here soon!!

If you're looking for an excellent customer experience and some of the nicest ukes out there, you've found it. I've ordered twice from Mim's Ukes, and both times my purchases well exceeded my expectations. Instruments arrived quickly with no shipping problems, and were expertly set up so that I could start playing them right out of the box. I'll definitely be back for more ukes when my budget allows - AND make sure you donate a few bucks to Mim's animal rescue! An amazing human selling gorgeous instruments and making the world a better place. Highly recommend.

Ordered a ukelele from Mim and I could not be happier. The setup is amazing, the price was very fair, took the time to answer my questions, and the shipping was fast. Mim is really nice to boot.I would highly recommend Mim's ukes to anyone :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!I have made two purchases with Mim and her customer service is second to none. She goes the extra mile to ensure we (her customers) are happy. I bought my Ohana TK70R from her back in 2018 and it’s still my #1 ukulele. The setup is perfect and I’m super particular so my standards are pretty high.My second purchase was an Ohana double tenor sized gig bag. Her price was the best I could find and she sent it out the next day.It’s very apparent she loves what she does and cares a great deal about making her customers happy. Again…I cannot recommend Mim’s Ukes more highly.

Excellent, top notch, A+, super business! Everything about Mim’s Ukes is positive. The selection is plentiful and the price range is big. If you want a starter uke, mid range, or professional, Mim has you covered.Every Uke that goes out her door will play to its fullest potential and that is the reason to do business with Mim’s Ukes over box stores and other online places. She looks over every single instrument herself before it leaves.The attention to detail is outstanding. I bought 3 Ukes. A tenor for me, a soprano and a bass for my daughter. Very pleased and I will never buy anything else ukulele related from anywhere else again.

I have purchased several ukuleles from Mim and shall purchase more. Whether you are buying a budget model or the uke of a lifetime, she’ll provide the same careful, attentive-to-your-specific-needs setup.I once sent her a set of strings that I’d selected from amongst several different brands, and she set up the new uke perfectly for them, as if it was something she does every day (Who knows? Maybe she does.).Conscientious and much more than fair in every regard, I met her as a one-woman shop who loves what she does, and now value her as a lifelong friend.

Mim is one of the best people I know, and a fantastic ukulele dealer. Her setups are world-renowed for good reason, and she gives every instrument she sells her setup, be it a $100 ukulele or a $2,000. I have seen her at various ukulele festivals, I’ve ordered from her online shop, and she has always been kind, ethical, and provided damn good service. Whenever anyone asks me about getting a new ukulele, be it a friend or family, or someone on social media, etc., my first suggestion remains the same—talk to Mim.

Mim is awesome! Her set up is spot on. She generously teaches folks how to take care of your ukulele too. If you are looking for a uke, get Mim to help. She knows her products and the pricing is reasonable. I get to see her at the Festival in Altoona and it’s like catching up with a good friend. Thank you Mim for years of ukulele good vibes!

Mim is by far the BEST ukulele dealer -- period. I have purchased from Mim multiple times, because no other dealer comes close to offering her exceptional customer service, which includes her very knowledgeable recommendations, fast shipping, low prices, and most importantly, no one can beat her amazing set-up!!! She's literally known around the world for her set-up for a reason, because it's the best set-up you will ever get! And, surprisingly, this is a FREE service that she provides, because she actually cares about her customers and wants to ensure quality and easy playability, so that you get the most out of your ukulele purchase. Most dealers/stores either drop ship, or you have to pay an additional fee to receive a proper set-up. I'm in Canada, so unfortunately Mim is not local for me, but I like to support buying from her because she's a small business owner, a very reputable ukulele dealer, and I know when I place my order that I don't have to worry, because I will receive perfection. I only wish she was closer, so I could save on shipping lol!

My husband and I travelled from central Pa to purchase our instruments from Mim and were not disappointed. She met and exceeded our expectations. When you meet her, you feel instantly like old friends. Her knowledge and patience enabled us to choose our ukuleles with confidence and we love them! That’s why we are repeat customers.

We love our uke set up beautifully by Mim. Thank you for troubleshooting with me when I couldn’t find the amp plug. Duh on me! And thank you for offering to send a replacement even though it wasn’t needed. It was in my packaging all along.

One of the best ukulele dealers in the US. Mim does a fantastic setup on all of her ukuleles. If you’re just starting out, buy from here. Trust me. She rocks! Highly highly recommended.

Mim took the time out of her busy schedule to help me (a stranger) pick the perfect ukulele for me. She made me feel welcomed and really gave me all of her attention. My uke was set up brilliantly and still sounds amazing. I’m ready for a tenor and once I save up enough funds, I’ll be picking one up from Mim because she deserves all the business. She is so good at what she does.

I feel very lucky to have met Mim, first as a uke dealer, and then as a friend. I have enjoyed shopping with Mim at festivals over the years, but my favorite memory is visiting her shop in VA. It is cozy and adorable and full of her personality. She had a wonderful range of instruments and let me play them all. She does perfect setup and will make every uke sound like a $1000 instrument. She is kind and funny and just so much fun. I tell everyone to contact Mim when they are looking for a uke, and my house is full of instruments setup by her.

Mim is awesome. She does great set-ups and personalized service if you have requests like different strings etc. I've bought two Ohana ukes from her and both sound great and are easy to play. Her prices are good and service is fast. I'll be back for sure!

Drove from Wisconsin. What a beautiful setting and store. Mim met us at the crack of dawn and had pulled several ukes bases on previous emails I sent her. I controlled myself and only bought one. I had Mim ship it because of my travels. We picked a date and guess what showed up at my house that day? Great uke, plays very nicely. Fun store, great service, great uke set up. Next time Mim gets a red soprano Risa LP, expect it to be shipped to Wisconsin.

I got the opportunity to stop in on a Monday. What a great way to break those beginning of the week blues. At first sight I am looking straight at one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen, walls full of Quality ukuleles. A dream come true and I get to try a few too. Even better. Mim and her menagerie are fabulous and we left with 2 ukuleles when I was only after one. I really appreciate that she took the time to make sure thee setup was perfect on each one. And no one does setups better than Mim. Each one plays like butter. I am excited to know that there is someone out there that truly cares about the music as well as the ukulele community. Thanks Mim for all you do.From a very satisfied and soon to be return customer

I've purchased 2 ukes from Mim. Fabulous service. Both ukes were set up perfectly. Highly recommend Mims.

Best danged uke set-ups on several local planets. And I've been told that by players that have forgotten more than I ever knew. Mim sold me my first uke last year after I took a couple workshops she taught at FloydFest-- and I'll buy many more from magical mad madame Mim and nobody but!

If you ever are in need of an ukulele, that would be you, buy from Mim! She can find something in every price range and then ensures that it is set up perfectly for the best sound and ease of playing. On top of it all you get to talk with one of the funniest, most kind humans you will ever meet!

Mim has always been great to deal with. She always does an impeccable setup and has been great to deal with. I have a few of her Ukes and will surely come back for more in the future.

Ordered a Tenor Uke from Mims. It got here really fast. Faster than I thought it would. It is perfectly set up. Got a cool sticker with it also. Mims is where I'll get all my Uke supplies from now on.
