Ukulele Safari Instruments is born from a collaboration between Paolo Bianchi of Waiz Plucked Instruments and Sylvain ENJOUBAUT of Motu Ukulele.
Each piece is made with care, designed to travel easily and carry a unique sound that feels alive.
With every purchase, one ukulele or one music lesson is shared with children in Kenya, helping music grow where it begins.
Tembo in Kiswahili means Elephant.
Just like the animal it’s named after, Tembo is loyal and playful, communicating through a range of sounds and feelings. Its body is carved from a single piece of wood, ensuring a solid build and durability, and its unique carbon fibre strings can produce a variety of tones. With high-quality friction tuners, Tembo will always stay in tune.
Simba in Kiswahili means Lions
Simbass is the compact U-bass, designed and crafted in Italy, for musicians on the move. Lightweight and easy to carry, it delivers deep, punchy tones in a beautifully handcrafted body.
Chui in Kiswahili means Leopard.
The Motu, a ukulele invented and patented by Sylvain ENJOUBAUT, is a handcrafted instrument concept made from plywood. Its original soundbox features a soundhole on the back, like traditional Polynesian ukuleles. It also allows a wah-wah effect!!!
