Louis Gaspar

Louis A. Gaspar
Louis Gaspar was Sam Kamaka Snr's Brother in Law and was taught Ukulele making by him.

Louis Gaspar had his own workshop in Wailuku, Maui and by most accounts his Ukuleles were crudely made, very unsymmetrical and prone to breaking. However they are suppose to sound good and are quite sought after due to the Kamaka connection.

Louis Gaspar appears to have made mainly Pineapples, though I have seen a figure 8 that was made by him, (in bits as the owner was trying to fix all of its faults!) and had the innovation of an early "4 in a line" tuner configuration on a lot of his output that I have seen.
