Harry Tomita was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and learned to play his $10 Martin ukulele in the mid-1940s. After a stint in Korea he graduated from UC Berkeley with a BSEE. Now retired, he has decided to resume his interest in playing. The cost of instruments drove him to build his own ukulele and that has been his hobby ever since.
