William and Pat Knaus swung open the doors to their Eugene-based band instrument repair shop on March 15, 1987. At the time, they were one of six area shops, but as the decades have passed, Pacific Winds remains as the only one of the original six still in business, thanks in no small part to the Knaus’ ability to adapt and expand by adding reeds, print music and lesson books, accessories (to keep your instruments clean, protected and sounding pristine), and a wide selection of ukuleles—not to mention free uke lessons for beginners. Offering new and used band instruments as well as a lease program and repairs, the Knauses and their staff foster a sense of community and support music education (partnering with local youth orchestras, symphonic and community bands, and local concert series and events), all while being the store for ukuleles in Oregon—representing some 60 instruments made by noted brands like Kamaka, Kanile’a, LoPrinzi, Breedlove, Ohana, Kala, Kamoa, Cordoba, Moku, Islander, Magic Fluke and Amahi.
