For those of you who would like to try out some new ukuleles within Singapore (apart from Maestro from Esplanade and Peninsula Plaza), you’re in luck! Our latest visitor, Glyn & Simon, are from The Ukulele Music Co. Ukulele Movement and they have opened a shop which carries Kala ukuleles!

Well done Glyn & Simon!

They are located in Little India. Their address are as follows:

20A Beatty Road,

Singapore 209947

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the area, I’ve looked up on the address on streetdirectory.com, and here’s the direct link to the place.

For those of you who don’t drive, you can take the bus, after getting off from Bugis MRT. Below is a URL from SBS Transit to get to the nearby bus stop from Bugis’s Victoria Street.

Alternatively, you can also go to www.sbstransit.com.sg and look up on the route for bus service number 130, to see which stop is convenient for you to board from.

Be sure to check out The Ukulele Music Co.’s Ukulele Movement’s newly built website at:

I’m planning to check out the place, before Chinese New Year, and before going back to Kuala Lumpur. Anyone wants to join? Drop a comment, and perhaps we can go together!

Cheers!

Alan, i like ur idea…

Alan Says:

Hi all,

I’ve been down with flu, getting well soon. I suggest perhaps we should all go over together, as part of the 3rd meeting session~

wongyy Says:

Kenny,

I have not been there yet. seems alan is kind of busy didnt really fix any appointment with him yet.

BUT Glyn & Simon is opening up their place for us to jam….so maybe then we can go and play and see?

Kenny Says:

Would like to join in the visit too if time permits.

Glyn & Simon Says:

Oh by the way, if you’re interested, we carry premium Aquila nylgut strings too! They are the most preferred strings for ukuleles. For only $10 per pack, it’s a worthwhile investment to improve the sound of your ukuleles.

wongyy Says:

I wan to go too…Alan, let me know your timing…. thanks

Glyn & Simon Says:

Thanks for the mention, Alan! That’s very kind of you to even add directions to our place!

For those who prefer to take the MRT and walk, you can alight at either Farrer Park station or Boon Keng station. They are both within walking distance of about 5-8min. If you’re coming from Orchard, there’s bus no. 65 direct. Alight AFTER the Indian Temple Sri Srinvasa Perumal, cross the road and walk straight for 3min until you see a big public carpark. We’re just next to it (on the 2nd flr). Other buses at this bus-stop include: 21,23,64,65,66,67,125,130,139,147,857.

If you’re visiting our website, please bear with us as we’re in the midst of constructing it. Meanwhile you can contact us at my personal email glynchan@gmail.com.

Looking forward to see you guys soon!
