Our story
Noah Ukuleles began with a love for beautifully crafted instruments and a friendship that grew over time. During the five years my family and I spent living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I met Mr Anh – a gifted luthier whose handmade guitars and ukuleles instantly stood out. I bought a few for myself and was blown away by the quality, craftsmanship and tone.
As the years passed, we got to know each other better, and I had the chance to visit his climate-controlled workshop. Watching him work with such care and traditional techniques only deepened my appreciation for what he was creating.
When we knew our time in Vietnam was coming to an end in 2012, I had an idea: what if we could bring these incredible instruments to players in the UK? That’s how Noah Ukuleles was born.
The name was an easy choice – our son Noah was born in Vietnam in 2011, and it felt fitting to name the brand after him. Maybe one day it’ll even spark his own interest in music.
