Ika Vea, a native Tongan, is self taught in the art of making hula instruments. He spent years researching how the traditional-style drums and rattles are put together.
He offers a wide variety of instruments including the uli uli rattle, many sizes of pahu drums, the pu'ili bamboo sticks and the ipu gourd instrument. Besides his high quality instruments, Ika also sells many traditional Polynesian gifts.
