aNueNue (pronounced as AA-Nuw-eh-NUW-eh) means
rainbow in Hawaiian. The "Ke Ali'i Anuenue", or Rainbow Chief, is the
guardian spirit and one of the best known Hawaiian petroglyphs. The
arc above the Rainbow Chief's head radiates wisdom and power and
shoulders responsibility. Ke Ali'i Anuenue is the keeper of the land and
its people. At aNueNue USA, we harness the Rainbow Chief's spirit and
feel that we are all responsible for protecting Mother Earth.

aNueNue
Music's journey began in 2008 with a team of music lovers. We had a
strong will and a passion to make great acoustic and electric guitars,
but we had no idea we would fall in love with the Ukulele the way they
did. We sourced and tested various woods from all over the world and
found some of the best luthiers in Asia as well as the United States.
Because we already had a strong musical instrument background, aNueNue
was able to re-invent the wheel and make new innovative Ukulele bracing
and construction. After several years of honing our craft, we believe we
produce one of the sweetest sounding instruments on the market today.
