Manuel Ukelele

Manuel Ukelele (20 March 2013)


Manuel Ukelele is a music shop specializing in ukelele. It is housed in a restored terrace house turned shophouse along Kinta Lane in George Town. Manuel Ukelele touts itself as being the first online ukelele shop in Malaysia, and is probably also the only ukelele shop in Penang.

Manuel Ukelele was named in honor of Madeira-born cabinet maker Manuel Nunes (1843-1922) who immigrated to Hawaii somewhere around the late 1870s and began making ukelele there. The ukelele found favour with the Hawaiian royalty, and by the early part of the 20th century, its popularity has crossed over to the continental United States.

Manuel Ukelele provides a wide selection of ukelele for the enthusiasts of this instrument. The shop also runs a website providing more details about the various types and brands of ukelele.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
